Sorry — not on phones for now. I promise it’s worth the walk to your laptop or tablet. Open it there for the full experience.
Hi, I’m Samuel!
I don’t have a LinkedIn and this isn’t really a love letter 🤣.. but I believe going the extra mile is what makes exceptional people win.
I started coding in high school, when limited edition sneakers were a big thing, they usually sold out within a few seconds of being released.
I started learning JavaScript to build my own bots that would buy the sneakers I wanted, so I could resell them.
Later I joined my friends to build Ganesh, an automated sneaker bot that was used by over 1,500 other users at its peak and our users purchased more than $30 million worth of sneakers before the hype died down.
I loved reverse-engineering complex apps and APIs, taking them apart until I know exactly how they work.
Funny enough, after building Ganesh, a friend of mine who worked at a big European sneaker retailer asked me to help them build anti-bot protection for their raffle system.
I learned a lot about the backend and how to balance heavy load and concurrency, so things stay fast when traffic spikes.
I work AI-first: I write my own system so my agents like Claude Code, Cursor and Grok bot build in parallel, while I review the running app.
My latest project is Keta AI (opens in a new tab). I talk more about it in #projects section.

I spent my last four years between 
I grew up in 
I’m also part of Founders Running Club in Paris and I’ve been loving it so far!
I figured that working AI-first is the best and only way to build in 2026. My “favorite new thing” is Reason Network where I manage agents that work across my MacBook, my Mac Studio and in the cloud.
The Reason Network links my agents peer-to-peer, so a session on one machine can ask another for what it needs.
/better-interface/breakThis page was built this way. Flip Blueprint Mode to see the seams.
I run a small two-person software studio (opens in a new tab) (opens in a new tab) with a close friend, we work on our own projects whenever we have time or think of an idea for something that we or other people could use.
An unlimited AI video generator: take a clip’s motion and recast it with your own characters, products or clothes.
Where it started: in high school I wrote Ganesh, a bot to buy limited sneaker drops, and it became a product people paid for.
Private solvers for DataDome, Akamai and Kasada, which we sold per request, only to scraping services.
We used to offer these APIs and services on our Discord server (opens in a new tab).
I worked on internal anti-bot protection for Footshop, freelance.
My Claude Code, Grok bot and Cursor are linked peer-to-peer on my Reason Network (opens in a new tab), so they talk directly, also here’s some of my favorite skills.

This line from your job post stuck with me. I’ve used Resend in almost all of my smaller projects over the years, and I’ve watched the product keep changing as new features got added. I even remember reporting some bugs in your dashboard years ago haha.
A lot of what I’ve built, other developers depended on. Our bot-protection solvers were APIs that scraping services paid for per request, and for Keta AI we built an MCP server, so agents like Claude and ChatGPT are users too.
When we built Ganesh, our users were running tens of thousands of active tasks at once. On JavaScript the app started to freeze, so we moved to Python for multithreading, then to Go, where every task is a goroutine that costs a few kilobytes and runs across every CPU core. That’s where I learned how to push millions of requests through.
My friend, and the design engineer whose details I study most.
His tools, Agentation and Stageshow, are part of how I work every day.
How the pipeline demo on this page gets made: faux UI, built and filmed by agents.
Benji’s studio behind Honk and Family: a whole company built around craft.
The first ever app where I fell in love with its design, interactions and user experience.
My Mac and iPhone are my favorite products I ever owned.
My best friend on my travels, I love the design behind their products.
The best yacht ever designed.
The best car ever designed.
thanks for reading this far!
