Expertise.
Built across two worlds.
I build the digital infrastructure organizations actually need — data platforms, market intelligence systems, and localization work that makes content findable where it matters. Working code, working strategy, shipped fast, by someone who lives between Helsinki and Cotonou.
Who this is for
Nordic companies entering French-speaking markets
SaaS platforms, B2B tools, cleantech and design brands with strong domestic traction but close to zero visibility in France, Belgium, Switzerland, or francophone Africa. French is now the world's fourth most spoken language. If your content stops at English or your home-market language, you're invisible to a market that size.
Founders between Europe & Africa
Builders working across both worlds — Web3, AI, data platforms, marketplaces. I understand the operational gap between the pitch deck and the product, because I've built through it myself.
Organizations with data to make useful
Institutions and companies sitting on academic research, sector data, or heritage archives that could become intelligence products or editorial platforms — but currently sit unused.
Artists, galleries & cultural spaces
Painters, photographers, writers, independent galleries, cultural institutions. A body of work or a program that deserves a digital presence to match.
What I do
SEO localization for French-speaking markets
Not translation. Localization: content rebuilt around what French speakers actually search for, with the keyword research and content architecture to back it up. I audit where you're losing visibility, then close the gap. Includes: organic visibility audits, keyword and content gap analysis, on-page SEO rebuild, editorial roadmaps.

Data & market intelligence platforms
Pipelines that turn raw data — academic research, sector reporting, heritage archives — into structured, sellable intelligence products. Built end to end: scraping, processing, editorial layer, B2B delivery.

How we work together
Short, scoped engagements. No long retainers by default. We define the problem, agree on deliverables, and I build.
Direct
You work with me, not an account manager. One point of contact, full context.
Scoped
Clear deliverables, clear timelines. No scope creep by accident.
Shipped
Working results over long proposals. A visibility audit or a working prototype, not a deck.
Let's talk.
Tell me what you're building, or where you're losing ground. No pitch deck required.
