Open to work from July 2026

I turn messy ideas into working AI products.
I help teams launch faster: AI agents, dev tools, product demos, and clear technical content. I finish my L'Oréal mission in July 2026.

About
I'm a remote fullstack developer and founder who ships AI-powered products fast.
I'm wrapping a L'Oréal mission in July 2026. Ex CTO at 
GoodCollect, now building 
BlitzReels and 
BlitzRecorder and teaching React, Remix, and Next.js at 
Algomax
I create educational content for developers and use Content Copilot with Algomax, BlitzReels, and BlitzRecorder as my own growth lab for technical videos, developer education, and DevRel-style product storytelling.
I care about clean code, thoughtful UX, and hacking with AI workflows until they become real shipped projects.
Published technical videosI make tech videos on the internet.

"Virgile is a true A-player developer. He unblocked a frankly complicated Apple Store submission situation for a vibe-coded PWA in just a few days. Professional and very friendly, he quickly made himself available to meet my deadline. A real potential savior for any entrepreneur or junior dev."
