This site brings together four areas of work.
Since 1997, I have built and operated payment systems across banks, payment providers, and high-risk businesses. I work directly in live payment environments to improve authorization rates, transaction routing, acquiring relationships, risk control, and processing continuity. In practice that means decline analysis and retry logic, multi-acquirer and multi-PSP routing, acquiring and banking relationships, fraud and chargeback control, and fiat or crypto settlement flows. The objective does not change: more approved transactions, fewer avoidable losses, and processing that keeps running when a provider does not.

DJ · Live performance
I bring '80s and '90s sounds, groove, and electronic music into live performances, using AI and audio processing as creative instruments to reconstruct tracks in real time. Sets move between those records, groove and electronics, rebuilt live rather than pre-recorded: the room and the crowd decide the direction of the night.

Producer · Electronic emo
I produce melodic electronic emo, combining atmospheric, techno-futuristic sound with emotionally raw lyrics. The catalogue has passed one million views on YouTube. Tracks are written, produced and mixed end to end, with arrangements kept sparse so the voice and the melody carry the emotion.

I write dystopian fiction, satirical essays, and forward-looking nonfiction in English and French, examining power, technology, money, and society. Alongside my books, I publish a monthly MANIFESTO: a sharp, visually striking critique of contemporary contradictions, freely downloadable as a PDF.

I design and build independent projects from scratch, turning ideas into practical tools and simulations. Explore data, probability, finance, and decision-making through working experiments. Every project and tool featured in Gramond's Lab is free to use. Each project starts as a question — what does this really cost, what are the actual odds, how does this decision behave over ten thousand runs — and ends as a working tool anyone can use. The projects online cover probability simulation, subscription tracking, city comparison, cable inventory, relationship readings, currency exchange and browser games.
Enter the Lab →The same approach
Payment systems, music, writing and the lab are not separate activities. Each one is a way of working with structures, systems and ideas. In every field the question is the same: what is really happening, what is it made of, and what can be changed.
Observe
Find the underlying cause, the assumption and the dependency before touching anything.
Test
Turn the idea into something measurable: a simulation, a tool, a live experiment.
Build
Ship what works in the real world, not what looks good on paper.
That same habit of questioning systems also informs my political thinking. I examine the legitimate role of public authority and the place of individual liberty, personal responsibility, merit and private property in society.
Rather than treating state intervention as an end in itself, I question its necessity, proportionality, effectiveness, full cost and consequences for individual freedoms. These reflections are developed in greater depth on my dedicated political website.
