Hi.
You’ve probably been thinking about the Roman Empire.
Congratulations. You found one.
This Roman is building an empire across the world and across disciplines.
It is wide and multidimensional. He can build one for you too.
But let’s not dwell on the past. Empires rise and fall.
Better to try inAi.fr. They are building the future.
Yet, if you still wish to find what Roman offers, here is what you get:
I turn scattered fronts into a single campaign that ships.

How I operate
- Systems first. Map interfaces, constraints, and feedback loops before tasks so decisions line up and rework drops.
- Prioritize hard. Protect the critical path and keep WIP low; time-box discovery to force learning over drift.
- Orchestrate. Assign clear owners with contracts and acceptance criteria; remove ambiguity fast.
- Write it down. Specs, ADRs, runbooks, and post-mortems others can execute without me in the room.
- Ship with guardrails. Retries, timeouts, limits, and graceful degradation by default so releases are boring.
- Deterministic handover. Leave diagrams, metrics, and ownership transfer that stick.
Domains I work across
- Software systems & agents. Orchestrate agents and services with explicit contracts; evaluate on cost, latency, and accuracy.
- Web product. Structure content and UX for clarity; keep payloads thin and releases predictable.
- Research & evidence. Design studies, read data sanely, and cite correctly; separate signal from noise.
- Media & visuals. Turn ideas into storyboards and assets; edit in DaVinci; shape images in Photoshop.
- Life sciences. Translate biology context into product and communication that non-specialists can follow.
Web builds & small apps
End-to-end delivery from brief to deploy. Clear content, fast performance, predictable releases. Sample artifacts available by email.
