I've always wanted to understand what's underneath. Not what's happening, but what's driving it. What changes. What gets built. How significant it is. Who benefits.

Most people who understand traditional finance don't understand Bitcoin. Most people who understand Bitcoin haven't spent twenty years inside the institutions it's meant to replace.

I have.

Over two decades in banking and fintech, I worked across risk management, compliance, internal control, information security, and business continuity. I know how financial systems are built. I know their fragilities.

Those instincts brought me to Bitcoin. Not as a speculation. As a structural insight.

While still embedded in traditional finance, I co-founded nodl — the longest-tenured plug-and-play Bitcoin node in the world. We build hardware and infrastructure for people who want to reclaim financial ownership without handing their sovereignty to AWS, GCP, or Azure.

Along the way, I helped translate six foundational Bitcoin books into French. Works by Andreas Antonopoulos, Saifedean Ammous, Vijay Boyapati, Knut Svanholm, and Jonathan Bier. The ideas mattered too much to leave in one language. In 2022, I co-created BitdevsFR, the monthly technical Bitcoin Socratic Seminar in French. It still runs today.

The thread through all of it: a refusal to watch from the sidelines.

I am currently watching the next inflection points. AI-augmented thinking. Agentic payments. Sovereign infrastructure as owned asset. Same instinct, new terrain.

Asymmetrical Collage exists because ownership is what compounds. Ownership of thought, of knowledge, of projects, of communities. This is the beginning.
