Experience
PixelPoint Ltd. — Tech Lead & Senior Full-Stack Engineer, PrimeUI
Feb 2025 – Present · France · Remote
PrimeUI (primeui.com, launched Feb 2026) is an AI-native platform for generating production-ready websites, spanning Studio web app, public API, MCP server, CLI, and code-export pipeline. Sole full-time engineer on the project, owning roughly 70% of platform architecture across all surfaces.
- Owned ~70% of platform architecture end-to-end across Studio web app (TanStack Start, React, TypeScript), Node.js server runtime, public API, MCP server, CLI, code-export pipeline, and component registry.
- Architected the AI generation and matching layer: multi-model orchestration via Mastra + Vercel AI SDK (10 agents, 17 workflows) with per-task routing across Claude, GPT, and Gemini; embeddings-based component retrieval over 1,555 chunks (OpenAI
text-embedding-3-small) with three-tier fallback from exact key to family bucket to semantic search; prompt caching reaching 73% Gemini context-cache hit rate. - Built and published the
@primeuicom/mcpserver on NPM, exposing 25 tools that let any external codebase connect to PrimeUI from inside AI coding environments. Tested and tuned across 6 major coding agents including Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. - Designed and shipped the code-export pipeline and CLI. Generates a production-ready Next.js project repo in ~45 seconds, with end-to-end from UI Export to a running local project in ~1.5 minutes. The generated codebase is customer-owned, shipped as a standard Next.js project, pre-configured for 8 selectable AI coding agents.
- Drove the team's AI-augmented development practice from project start. Introduced Claude Code on day one, authored team conventions, led the transition to Codex ahead of public release. Open-sourced codex-bee and epic-loop as tooling spinoffs.
- Cut client-wireframe turnaround at PixelPoint from a week of Figma prototyping to a few hours by deploying responsive prototypes with production-level performance and dynamic interactions instead of static mockups.

- Architected the Tipico US backend on Sanity Headless CMS with 5 publishing environments, 3 datasets, and white-label architecture for core and state teams. Scale: 122 CMS users, 98 document types, 165K+ stored documents.
- Led technical hiring and team development: designed an assessment mirroring real working conditions, ran 30+ interviews leading to 8 hires, mentored new engineers. Drove team adoption of Claude.ai for research, content, and codebase analysis from 2024 onwards.
- Led migration of 15+ client projects to Headless CMS and commerce platforms (Sanity, Storyblok, Contentful, Payload, Crystallize, Shopify, Hydrogen), restructuring content models and cutting update cycles from weeks to days. Used Claude.ai for inherited-codebase analysis ahead of migration design.
- Built a Claude-based content automation pipeline: JSON translation flow for 190 country-specific Storyblok pages, integrated into publishing and saving ~1 month of manual work.
- Designed and built CMS-KIT, an open-source Headless CMS starter and component library used across 15+ client projects, cutting kickoff from days to hours and accelerating development by ~30%.
