Our Mission
We help people lead from the Self. At HeartCode Labs, we build tools for inner alignment, emotional intelligence, and meaningful action. Our work supports those navigating change, complexity, or reinvention, by guiding them inward first, then forward with presence, wholeness, and responsibility.
What We Build
- Frameworks for self-leadership and inner alignment (e.g., the Self-Leadership Compass)
- AI-powered tools for emotionally intelligent decision making
- Retrocomputing projects that blend logic, curiosity, and creativity
The Self-Leadership Compass
A framework for living with presence, wholeness, and responsibility.
Self-leadership begins by turning inward. The Self-Leadership Compass guides this process through two arcs:
You are not separate from life. You are life unfolding.
→ Return to presence. Surrender control. Live the question.
Not certainty, but symbolic resonance.
→ Follow what feels true beneath the noise.
Wholeness begins where avoidance ends.
→ Face your shadow. Integrate the exiled. Emerge as Self.
Not softness, but integration.
→ Hold yourself and others with dignity and depth.
Meaning is forged in the choice to carry what is heavy.
→ Assume responsibility. Become someone others can count on.
Not rigidity, but moral alignment.
→ Act truthfully. Carry values through action.
🌱 This Is a Living Compass
It doesn't point north.
It points inward, forward, and through.
Use it not to escape your path, but to walk it with deeper awareness, stronger posture, and a clearer sense of who you are becoming.
Reflections from the Journey
Christian showed a remarkable level of flexibility and loyalty… able to transition rapidly by taking full advantage of his ability to absorb new information and understand the customer's point of view… I wouldn't hesitate to hire Christian again.
Christian is an outstanding communicator and brings passion to his work. His leadership, insight, and ability to deliver has enabled multiple sales opportunities for our team.
Christian embodies the term, professional… despite my discouragement, he encouraged me in the right direction. He has astute industry knowledge and is extremely enthusiastic.
Christian is an engaging and sociable colleague… strong focus on customers and a clear understanding of business and sales. His solid technical knowledge and clear communication make him a key partner.
Christian is task-oriented and hard-working. In our brainstorming meetings, he was always coming up with innovative ideas and can think outside the box. I’d recommend him for any mission-critical task.
About HeartCode Labs
HeartCode Labs was born from a spark that never left: a love of building, coding, and creating with purpose.
But beyond systems and software, we're here to support a deeper kind of leadership. Leadership that begins within, where clarity hums, shadows integrate, and responsibility becomes a meaningful offering to the world.
The Founder's Story
I believe self-leadership begins by returning to the core, before the strategy, before the noise.
My journey started in the northeast of France at age 6, with a screwdriver and a double-bell alarm clock. By 13, I had broken my piggy bank to buy my first computer, a Commodore C64, and taught myself 6502 Assembly. Retrocomputing didn't just show me how machines work; it taught me how to think, with clarity, structure, and curiosity. That mindset still shapes everything I do today.
Over the past two decades, I've designed systems, led global product teams, and launched technologies across high-tech, life sciences, and healthcare. From building a next-gen circuit simulation platform at Mentor Graphics to scaling clinical trial software at endpoint Clinical, I've always focused on one thing:
Reducing complexity to amplify human experience.
Now, as founder of HeartCode Labs, I create emotionally intelligent tools for reflection, integration, and meaningful action: rooted in alignment, compassion, and integrity.
I thrive where leadership is embodied, not staged. Where systems serve people, and where purpose lives in the smallest details.
