Hello, I’m Gautier.
I make things work.
GAUTIER BRIARD / FOUNDERI’m a product-oriented software engineer, startup builder, and technical partner. I care about what the software makes possible for the people using it.
Since 2014, I’ve worked across product engineering and technical leadership. My experience includes engineering roles at Onfido and Pennylane, and co-founding Avoteca as CTO.
Word Is brings that experience into a direct partnership with founders. Sometimes you need someone to build. Sometimes you need someone to ask the right question, untangle a decision, or help you find the right person.
The starting point is the same: understand what you’re trying to achieve, then choose a practical way forward.

Still curious.
Still discovering.
Worldwide Discoveries started with importing products. Over time, the work moved into technology.
Word Is is the next expression of that journey: an independent studio built around clear communication, useful software, and trust.
I want people to keep working with me because the work is good. That means sharing knowledge, explaining the tradeoffs, and making sure you can move forward with confidence—even when that means working with someone else.
