Summary
Yoann Cribier is a hands-on craftsman and former software trainer who blends 11 years of technical and creative experience into bespoke woodworking and custom projects. After training and teaching JavaScript at Wild Code School and helping create open-source learning initiatives like NaN and 01Edu, he pivoted to founding Copo A Copo, where he applies digital problem-solving to traditional carpentry. His background includes full-stack and iOS development for niche products (private jet app) and building tooling for educational platforms, giving him a rare mix of user-focused product design and low-tech fabrication skills. Trained at 42 and with experience in timber framing, joinery and workshop machine mastery, he delivers meticulously designed, functional woodwork informed by systems thinking. Based in Cilaos, Réunion, he brings a collaborative, community-minded approach—equal parts precision, pedagogy and heart.
