Clément Bacle,
writes & builds.

I started writing code in 2017, in a room in Lille, after six years of pharmacy school and a doctorate thesis on building a health startup. Le Wagon happened next. I never looked back. The pharmacist certificate is still in a drawer somewhere — it comes in handy when colleagues describe their health problems in the office.

Today, I'm a fullstack senior engineer at Hublo, the French healthtech that connects hospitals and care homes to flexible medical staff — nurses, caregivers, midwives. Before that I co-founded Oscare, a care pathway planning platform for French hospitals — raised €1M in 2021, shipped to 30+ establishments, 60,000 patients, 2,000 professionals, eleven people. Before that, Officina Santé: a sleep clinic app built with a somnologist at the CHR de Lille, a clinical study filed, and a book published with Dr. Chapelle — Faites de beaux rêves(Dunod, 2019). On the side I work on agents — voice, text, MCP — and write about what survives contact with production.

I write because I think clearer when I'm forced to commit a sentence. Most of what I publish here started as a Notion page, lost a third of its words, and became something I'd let a friend read. I prefer pieces that are wrong but specific to pieces that are vague but safe.
