Frontend & Developer Relations
Freelance

I like building with CSS things it probably shouldn't be built with — and apparently a few designers and engineers enjoy the ride too. Here's what some of them had to say.
I’ve met gifted people, but Luky is one of the few true CSS wizards I know. He’s highly imaginative, and he’s always down to use new features and cutting-edge APIs to show you that, yes, this is possible in CSS. His enthusiasm and energy are refreshing, and everyone secretly aspires to be as cool as he is.
Sarah DayanPrincipal Software Engineer
Luky is the dream partner in crime for a designer, always keen to implement the craziest designs. He is never afraid to explore new techniques, with a rare sense of detail and aesthetics. The best part is that in the end, you end up with an even cleaner look than the initial design!
Sebastien NavizetFreelance creative director
Working with Lucas has been one of the most flawless collaboration I've had as a designer. Constantly paying attention to details, crafting pixel-perfect experiences, he's not afraid to go above and beyond to be proud of the final result, which is a quality inherent to passionated workers I love working with.
Nicolas MeuzardProduct Designer
Among all the stars in the galaxy, the shiniest is called Luky. If you see it, make a wish for your next project and the sparkles of his creativity will bring life to your craziest dreams. Luky is the magic sauce.
Kevin GrangerHead of growth & development journey
I've had the chance to work with Lucas for many years, and all I can say is that every minute of it was a blast. Not only is he an incredible, funny and humble human being, but he also has a hacking mindset that helps him push his limits further and further. Lucas is truly a front-end expert with crazy CSS skills, and he always delivers pixel-perfect web experiences which are simply delightful to explore.

Listening toA$AP Rocky — Don't Be Dumb

I build things with CSS, sometimes things that probably shouldn't be built with CSS — and then I tell the rest of the industry they can do it too.

I've spent the last decade at the intersection of frontend engineering and developer relations. At Algolia I went from employee #22 to Senior DevRel, shipping production search UI, writing demos, and running the DX surface that thousands of developers touch daily.

My work orbits CSS — I make playgrounds, mixins, and visual experiments that get picked up by the community and, occasionally, by browser vendors a few years later.

Apart from CSS I love nature, animal life and plants. If you want to build something weird or talk about DevRel craft, drop a line.
