Redesign: About page #33

Part of the redesign build (parent issue linked in the sidebar). Targets the redesign branch. Needs the foundations and the background and map issues.

Intro

The same block as the home intro, so the label, the title and the map sit at the same place on both pages. Going from Home to About moves the map without redrawing it.

• Label: "About"
• Title: "Customer success, / Product, / AI agents." (the full stop in the accent colour)
• Text: "I'm Josselin Perrus, product manager turned builder. I started in customer-facing roles, spent seven years building the product at Linkurious (2026 exit), and the last three years building with AI."

The three parts

On the intro's two columns: the heading (orange dot, name, the map's label in grey capitals) under the intro text, staying in view while its part is read; the text under the map, in Newsreader 20px/32px. One column, up to 720px, below 1120px wide.

Customer Success (IDENTIFY THE VALUE)

I started in client-facing positions. Talking to customers and making them successful is still the highlight of my day. It's also where I learnt to listen and be pragmatic.

Listen, because when you have little leverage on the product, that's your only chance to narrow the problem enough that you may be able to find a solution.

Pragmatic, because a now-solution beats everyday a beautiful solution.

Product (DECIDE WHAT TO BUILD)

Linkurious grew from €1K / year / customer to over €100K / year / customer. Self-financed. As the Founding PM, I had to identify the highest leverage bets, and build alignment with the cofounders. And push back on the rest.

I build focus and clarity in fluid environments on a deep understanding of customers (120 interviews in the first 6 months at Linkurious), their problems, and how they create opportunities to meet the company strategy.

AI Agents (SOFTWARE FACTORY)

My very first AI project was Dec. 2023: building a knowledge graph from a sum of articles using structured extraction. Later came a data lineage tool, a report on agent frameworks and 2 voice agent projects.

I build them end to end with coding agents, from the infrastructure to the prompts, from backend/frontend to benchmarks and evals.

I compound building my own set of tools such as my boundary model Skills (GitHub).

"GitHub" links to the boundary-model skills. Keep the page's Person JSON-LD. The first figure of the Product part is to be confirmed by the owner before the final merge.
