Sam Goda, Senior Product Manager, from architecture to Nocode, he has more than one string to his bow!

With a background in architecture and design, Sam acquired solid experience in the creation and management of projects, where construction, from idea to concrete realization, was at the heart of his profession. His involvement in prestigious projects such as the renovation of the Musée National de la Marine and the Studio du Louvre has enabled him to develop a holistic approach to creation.

• Musée national de la Marine
• Le Studio du Louvre
  ‍

At the same time, his role as an architecture teacher opened up new perspectives on the transmission of his knowledge and the impact it could have on a wider audience. It was at this point that Sam began to explore the field of technology, attracted by its potential to disseminate knowledge on a large scale.
‍

Initially, technology seemed a distant field to Sam. Although he'd been fascinated by early innovations such as the first iPhone, he hadn't considered venturing into it, seeing himself as an outsider to the field. However, faced with the challenge of adapting his courses for a wider audience, Sam felt the need to find innovative solutions.
‍

Looking for a way to develop his entrepreneurial projects while being new to tech, Sam finally discovers Nocode.
‍

Discovering the Nocode

It was in 2017 that Sam discovered Nocode, a way of developing his project alone and at lower cost, which he describes as a revelation.
‍

He then immersed himself in this technological universe, starting by exploring the Bubble tool. For three intensive weeks, he immersed himself in learning the latter, exploring its capabilities and possibilities "I locked myself up at home during this time just to self-train. In just three weeks, I managed to create the equivalent of the Airbnb platform, entirely thanks to Nocode!"
‍

At the time, Nocode resources were limited in France. The following year, Sam joined an incubator in the USA to quench his thirst for learning. In just a few weeks, too, he managed to develop his first Edtech software, "Before I knew about Nocode, I didn't even know what a database was, it's crazy!"

His first product, a Learning Experience Platform, called Elnil, helped him attract entrepreneurs like Maurice Lévy as investors. Aimed at schools and universities, Elnil aimed to help students by offering an integrated experience from the receipt of assignments to their submission, enabling online collaboration via chat and an integrated system. Backed by data and AI, this platform could even predict potential academic failures! "When I asked for a V1 of Elnil, it was a marketplace.

A developer offered me this first version at €60,000, with 6 to 8 months of development. Thanks to Nocode and, more specifically, Bubble, I did it all by myself in a month and a half!"

Unfortunately, Sam couldn't find enough customers for his platform, so he had to close it down. However, the experience gave him valuable expertise in the field of Nocode, which he was later able to exploit.
‍

In 2022, Sam joined Alegria.group as Product Manager. He quickly rose through the ranks to become Senior Product Manager. Now responsible for projects that are each more innovative than the last, his ability to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing environment continues to grow!
‍

His projects with Alegria.group

At present, Sam is piloting two distinct projects, each in a specific field but both guided by a common 0 to 1 strategic approach, with the aim of developing a product and attracting users quickly.
‍
The first project, still confidential, concerns wellness, a fast-growing field where Sam is implementing its strategic vision to deliver a quality product to the customer. The second project, Wiim.IA, is in the real estate sector. Still under development, this platform uses AI to revolutionize real estate investment support!
‍

In collaboration with Florian Casanova, Head of Design at Alegria.group, Sam has worked with innovative startups such as Simundia and Fairjungle, aiming to completely overhaul their designs. As Senior Product Manager, Sam is constantly challenged to ensure the quality and success of projects.

Sam's secret is versatility, acquired through his experience in Nocode, design and product development, which enables him to approach every aspect of his work with skill and efficiency. Whether discussing business objectives with customers, coordinating technical aspects with developers or working on user experience with designers, Sam admits to a natural ability to adapt to her various interlocutors to create quality products.
‍

For him, the key to success in product design lies in the ability to listen carefully to users' needs and translate them into effective, innovative solutions. His versatility and commitment to excellence make him a valuable asset to the Alegria.group team!
‍

What he's proud of 

Sam Goda takes great pride in his achievements, including the construction of projects that have won admiration, such as the renovation of the Musée de la Marine. The second thing he's proud of is Wiim Immo "You'll be able to find investment opportunities as a property dealer and invest in real estate more easily thanks to an AI-enabled assistant! It's going to be incredible."
‍

His advice for those who want to get started

Sam urges those wishing to get into Nocode, highlighting the opportunities it offers to quickly turn ideas into reality and create successful online businesses "My only advice would be: get started!"
‍

He insists that Nocode democratizes online business creation, offering tools accessible to everyone, whatever their level of technical skill "Nocode is overpowering, anyone can launch their product on the market now! What's more, you can afford to make mistakes for just €30 a month."
‍

What next?

Looking to the future, Sam Goda expresses a desire to return to entrepreneurship, with the aim of developing his own ideas, while keeping a link with Alegria.group "I also want to stay with Alegria.group, there's no better company to learn from!" He humorously discusses his aspirations to follow a similar path as Francis Lelong, CEO and Co-founder of Alegria.group.

We wish him every success for the future!
