Faire advenir.
Bespoke software, artificial intelligence and exacting engineering — designed around your situation, conducted in complete discretion.
Begin the conversation01 — Expertise
Three crafts, one line: yours.
Custom software
Applications, platforms and business tools drawn for your organisation. Nothing generic; nothing superfluous — from the first sketch to production, one same standard.
Artificial intelligence & LLMs
Language models, machine learning, decision-support systems — applied to your real work. Your data remains yours: dedicated infrastructure, controlled hosting.
Exceptional engineering
Exacting architectures, delicate rebuilds, sensitive integrations. The situations that tolerate no approximation, conducted end to end.
We serve innovative startups in search of expertise, from artificial intelligence to the broadest range of technologies — and we build complete embedded systems.
First light on your project.

03 — The founder
Arnaud Pasquelin
École des Mines engineer · Eight years with Accenture
Lavena is the practice of Arnaud Pasquelin, a graduate engineer of the École des Mines de Saint-Étienne, one of France's grandes écoles of engineering. Nearly ten years of software engineering — eight of them with Accenture — took him from the mobile applications of a major international group, where he led innovation work in augmented reality, machine learning and conversational assistants, to the reservation platforms of a world-leading travel-technology company, where he reviewed the code of more than fifty engineers and trained incoming teams. Today he conducts every engagement personally, from first conversation to production — in French or in English. When the scale of a project calls for it, he draws on trusted partners to build alongside him.
Lavena — from vena, the vein one follows to value; from avènement, the dawn when the idea comes to life.
04 — Engagements & Discretion
Our references are shared only with our clients' consent.
Every engagement can begin under a non-disclosure agreement.
A record — the founder's experience, not the practice's references
For one of the world's leading travel-technology groups — eight years on reservation platforms used by millions of travellers: new journeys, a component library, code review across more than fifty engineers.
Within a major international group — the innovation projects of its applications: augmented reality, machine learning, image recognition, conversational assistants.
Today, in his own right — applied AI systems: injury prediction for competition horses, language models for insurance, interactive books.
05 — Contact
A first conversation, in confidence.
The first exchange takes place wherever suits you — on the Côte d'Azur or in writing. It carries no obligation and is strictly confidential; a non-disclosure agreement can be signed before anything is discussed.
