About Me
Co-Founder & Software Engineer at Apogée Consult in Lyon.
Who I Am
I'm Mathieu Ponton, Co-Founder & Software Engineer at Apogée Consult . I turn ideas into real web, mobile and AI (RAG) products—covering architecture, backend, frontend and delivery (CI/CD, monitoring, observability).
My background mixes public sector (Métropole de Lyon), startup (Superwyze) and entrepreneurship (Apogée Consult), with a software engineering degree at Polytech Lyon (apprenticeship, graduating September 2026). I enjoy building products where reliability, performance and UX truly matter.
