The engineer behind TA Embedded

I'm an embedded software engineer based in Lyon, France. I studied through Cameroon, Tunisia, France, and Germany before earning my engineering degree in Robotics & Embedded Systems from UTBM.

I started TA Embedded because I believe embedded clients deserve direct access to the engineer actually writing their code. No account managers, no outsourcing, no surprises.

What I believe in

Deep specialisation

I work exclusively in embedded software. That focus means no onboarding overhead and faster, better results for you.

Direct communication

No account managers, no middlemen. You work directly with the engineer building your product: no handoffs, no delays.

Pragmatic engineering

I favour clean, documented, testable code over clever abstractions. Maintainability is a feature, not an afterthought.
