About
Jérôme Desmares, entrepreneur and Engineering Manager in Nice.
Ten years building products that run in production, first for other people, now for myself. This page covers where I come from, what I am building right now and how to reach me.
The background
I started by building an online store on my own, from the first line of code to the first euro collected. I then wrote code for systems that move real money, where a mistake shows up the same day. After that I grew engineering teams as an Engineering Manager: hiring, code review, releases and on-call. I went through 42 Paris, a school where you learn by building.
What I build
Four products carry my name today. Livia tracks Qualiopi compliance for French training organisations continuously and prepares their audits. Lecturer builds the timetables of schools and universities and manages contract lecturers in the same place. Hubskillz keeps one validated version of each Claude Code skill current across a whole team. Coucou IA is the consulting firm my client work goes through, for small and mid-market companies. I also delivered three sites for clients: Watu Care, MP Training and Bastide de Monique.
The rest of the time
I code the Destiny series: two free text-based career simulators that run in any browser, with no account and nothing to install. Bball Destiny for basketball, BR Destiny for battle royale. Same stack and same performance bar as the serious work, without a spec.
Where to find me
I am in Nice, France, on the Europe/Paris time zone, and I work fully remote. I write and reply in French and in English, within two business days. The shortest path is still an email.
