I studied English Civilization and Literature for a year. Dropped out. Worked in a factory.

Said "fuck that !" and decided to use my brain for something more interesting.

Self-taught Python in 2005. Always been a tech nerd. Coding felt natural from day one.

PHP dev for 2 years → Independent for 2 (full stack) → Lead dev (and dev ops, and repo master, and office grinch) for 4.

Now? I build tools that make me less miserable. Sometimes they help other people too.

a "passionate developer with almost 20 years experience". Someone who turns coffee into bugs.

Consensus: Not consensual unless the consensus makes sense.

TypeScript: Best thing that happened to JS. Fight me.

Open source: Sharing my brain farts openly so maybe someone goes further or learns something new.

Work: Have fun but fill up the fridge is a must. Open to opportunities that dont suck ass.
