Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

As a product of the 90s, I am one of those who believe that 'life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get,' but at the same time, you have to adapt to create opportunities.

My life is designed like a Game Boy, and my motto could be summarized as 'click and start': move forward, embrace your quirky side, while adapting. Ultimately, isn't that the strength of a young 90s Geek?!

I grew up with the shrill sounds of the first internet connections, I oscillated between Windows and Mac, until I evolved between touch tablets and other connected objects, for which I maintain regular technological watch.

As a true enthusiast, I am an accomplished gamer, addicted to Overwatch, CES, and other PGWs of all kinds.

However, I am not a caricature; I enjoy reading (from Balzac to comics), art (from video games to Warhol), sports (from jogging to longboarding), travel (carpooling or by plane), cooking (from Beef Stroganoff to Porn Food), DIY (from Christmas decorations to arcade cabinets)... In short, I try to laugh at everything, be interested in everything, and with anyone.

At work, I cultivate a particular passion for efficiency, for which my superpower is Excel. Attention to detail, speed of execution, and teamwork skills are my main qualities.

I don't identify with comic book superheroes because 'a vigilante is just a man lost in a frantic race for self-satisfaction' (Batman). On the other hand, I want to turn my flaws into a real asset for bouncing back.

In short, I'm Julien, let's meet!
