Hey DEV, I'm Mathieu, and most places online I go by tito/txprog. My career has basically been one long experiment in making Python run where it has no business running. I co-created Kivy, the cross-platform UI framework, and then spent years building the tooling that made Python actually work on phones: pyjnius to call Java from Python, python-for-android for packaging, kivy-ios for the Apple side, and buildozer to automate the whole build chain. If you've ever shipped a Python app on a phone, there's a decent chance one of those tools was in the stack somewhere. Alongside all of that, I spent over 12 years freelancing on interactive installations for museums and cultural institutions across France. Touch-screen exhibits at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Lille, digital projects for the Bibliothèque nationale de France, RFID-based installations at the Philharmonie de Paris. The common thread was always Python, always screens people could touch, and always slightly cursed deployment scena
