Career

Childhood

Son of an architect in Morocco. Construction, first and foremost, is a family story. Building sites, drawings, technical discussions: that was daily life.

2005

Graduated from ESTP Paris. Building engineering degree. The technical foundation behind everything that followed.

2005-2012

Nearly ten years at Bouygues Construction. Accor Tower (Bouygues Télécom HQ), Bouygues Immobilier HQ (Issy-les-Moulineaux), Beaugrenelle shopping centre, Chanel HQ (Neuilly), Yvette clinic. From the field to head office, from execution to management.

2012

Co-founded Bulldozair. The idea was born on a building site: why is construction management still on paper and Excel?

2016

Y Combinator S16 in San Francisco. Bulldozair selected among the top 2% of startups. Acceleration, pivot, product-market fit.

2016-2022

Scaling Bulldozair. Fundraising, deployment across major construction groups, building the team.

2022

Exit of Bulldozair to Infopro Digital / Mezzoteam to build the French AEC leader. Bulldozair (site management) + Mezzoteam (document management) + E-Project (financial management) form a complete platform.

2022-2025

Commercial and international development of Mezzoteam. Rolling out the integrated Bulldozair + Mezzoteam + E-Project platform across the construction industry.

2026

Founded Mister ConTech. Construction needs AI — but not generic AI. AI that understands the trade.
