From Poker Tables to Prompt Engineering

Hi I’m the founder of ZoneMentale.

I don’t come from a traditional developer background. I come from poker, business, and digital marketing. My strength isn’t writing complex code — it’s understanding complex systems and explaining them simply.

I’m especially interested in:

AI tools and prompt engineering

SEO and automation workflows

product storytelling and tech promotion

making technical ideas accessible to non-technical people

I like translating “developer language” into “human language”.

Right now, I’m building systems around AI, content, and growth while learning more about the tech ecosystem every day.

I believe you don’t need to be an engineer to contribute to tech you just need curiosity, clarity, and consistency.

If you’re building something interesting, I’m always happy to connect.

You mention the poker. Do you develop any poker app or how is your development connected to that niche? I am asking because I am looking for someone what understand the niche.

Yes, I know the poker niche very well.

I played professionally for 8 years, mainly in high-stakes Spin & Go. That background helped me a lot when I moved into prompt engineering: pattern recognition, decision-making under uncertainty, fast iteration, and reading weak signals.

I’m not developing a poker app right now, but I understand the niche deeply and I can definitely help with positioning, product logic, UX, or go-to-market if it’s poker-related.
