AI-Native E-commerce Architect specializing in PrestaShop

5 PrestaShop Awards
100k+ Installs
15 years of experience
30+ Modules built

Most online stores are still designed for humans. I prepare them for an agent-driven world — from business process automation to algorithmic governance, with AI built into the architecture from the ground up.

My background

A web developer for over 15 years, I specialized early on in the PrestaShop ecosystem. I founded BusinessTech, the oldest PrestaShop module publisher in France, with 30+ modules and over 100,000 active installs.

My modules have been awarded 5 times at the PrestaShop Awards (including 4 jury favorites), recognized by the community and merchants for their reliability and innovation.

Since 2023, I have focused on the AI-native transition of e-commerce: how to integrate AI agents from the ground up in e-commerce architectures, not as an add-on layer.

My mission

My role is to make a complex transformation understandable and actionable. Generative AI is changing the rules — not just for content creation, but for the very governance of online stores.

I design architectures where AI agents orchestrate inventory, pricing, content and reporting. I train teams to pilot and supervise these systems. And I maintain an ecosystem of PrestaShop modules with AI integrated at every level.

I am based in Antibes (French Riviera) and work remotely with merchants and agencies in France and internationally.
