I'm Théo. I find meaning in helping others. I'm curious, biased towards action, and driven by finding the simple solutions hiding in plain sight to ambiguous problems. On a personal level, it means lending my arms to build a friend's house, take pictures of a friend's artworks, volunteering to help autistic children find their path to school, smiling to a stranger, listening to a friend doing his best to raise three kids, pacing another through a trail run, or sharing a trek through the Alps. On the professional side, it means collaborating to build better tools for those who need them to help others in turn. Over the past decade, it has meant building web applications to streamline business processes and orchestrate collaboration. Over time, this has taken me through aerospace engineering, linguistics, international business law, translation, bike mechanics, carpentry, epistemology, military strategy, diplomacy, teaching, graphic design, stoicism, finance, poetry, taoism, photography, trail running, sailing, sailmaking, sewing, software engineering, probability theory, chaos theory & complex systems. When I make time for myself, I gravitate around trail running, [photography](https://studio.theolouvel.com), sewing and reading (feel free to take a look at my [[Library|library]]).
