Forward DeployedDesigner · Engineer · Builder

I'm Antoine, a Forward deployed designer, product engineer and builder based in Lyon with 10 years of tech experience. This portfolio showcases my design craft from discovery to production. I'm currently employed and open to new opportunities (CDI or long-term missions). I work hybrid: at least 2 remote days from Lyon, open to 2-3 on-site days including travel to Paris.

I have always done design. As a kid, I made video edits (special effects, lightsaber fights); as a student, I loved graphic design and created the logos, posters and flyers for my clubs (dance, brass band...). It was during my studies (Computer Engineer) that I fell in love with programming and building user interfaces. Once I had my degree, I first worked as a web developer, with a strong focus on Frontend and Mobile (crossplatform development), before specializing in User Experience and Interface Design (UX/UI).

I design, build and ship complex digital products alongside product teams, from startups to large organisations: agentic workflows, B2B tools and internal backoffices. From UX/UI and wireframes to advanced interactive prototypes to code through to deployment, I quickly integrate robust, tailored tech solutions boosted by AI. 10 years of tech experience, 7 of them in payments, banking and insurance, taught me to ship in demanding, regulated environments.

I combine technical expertise, design fundamentals and creativity to build modern, accessible, and predictive digital products. Every decision is validated through KPIs and field feedback: partner workshops, bank user clubs, and live stands.

I also contribute to design systems and build UI kits to ensure consistency, scalability, and quality experiences across products, while paying close attention to handoff process.

Alongside my design work, I'm a Tech Speaker (Dev relation, design advocacy talks & workshop) and Figma trainer, sharing insights and best practices at conferences across France (Devoxx, DevFest, etc.).

With my dual background as a design engineer and Product Designer & Software Engineer, I bring a hybrid skillset to the product cycle: I own the full design process (Discovery, Strategy, UX/UI, User Tests, Handoff) and contribute to the frontend codebase to close the gap between design and production, in a Forward Deployed way of working.

I keep a close eye on the generative AI tooling landscape and test it regularly in my workflow as an AI designer: Figma Make for exploratory prototyping, Figma MCP and design-to-code for integration, Cursor/Claude code to speed up front-end work, including agentic commerce POCs and spec-driven development as an AI product builder, always in service of craft, quality, accessibility, and design tokens.
