Passionate about IT from a young age, I enjoyed tinkering with computers to understand how they worked (and how to fix them). In my free time, I also made short films with my friends.

At the end of 3rd grade, I was offered a path towards an "electro-technical" high school; which I categorically refused. I therefore left school at the age of 15 (at the end of 3rd grade).

It was while trying to self-finance my entry into a film school that I started selling my services to create websites (in XHTML and Flash). I finally gave up on entering that school and focused on programming. I started learning PHP, then Javascript to improve my skills.

My experience as a Full Stack developer has several origins:

1) My self-taught journey in which I learned to prospect, communicate/negotiate effectively with the client, create contracts/invoices/quotes, make graphic mockups (web design), integrate them, program all functionalities, deploy/install/configure a dedicated server, put a site into production, and finally, maintain and evolve everything;

2) An experience in which I set up a SASU with a partner. In this latter, I learned to improve my communication, give/receive constructive criticism, debate and argue, the sense of recruitment, and personnel management;

3) Finally, my experiences in companies where I had the opportunity to meet great people, where I learned to work in a team, the sense of hierarchy and best practices to move forward in projects, towards the set objectives.
