PLN

Bienvenue !

I'm PLN, and I love to transform…

…code into solutions to human problems

At Algolia, I create technologies to help humans find things, get inspired, and be understood.

…code into music

As ParVagues, I write patterns that shape soundwaves.

…code into animated pixelscapes

Using Hydra, I create animations that offer windows into other worlds.

…ideas into talks

I speak about topics I care about: from sharing my passions and teaching useful patterns, to questioning our current mental models.
