About me

I did not start in computer science. After a baccalaureate in maths and engineering science I studied electrical engineering and industrial computing at IUT Lyon 1. I did my internship and then my work-study at Bouygues Energies & Services on the T6 tramway extension in Lyon. I sized cables and updated electrical drawings. The courses I liked most were always the ones with code, so I chose an engineering school in computer science and networks.

Since 2025 I have been an apprentice at AREA in the department that maintains the group’s software. I work in the business software team on apps for housing, fleet maintenance and staff representatives. In my free time I build personal projects to learn tools I do not use at work yet.

For my internship abroad I want to work in English in a bigger team than mine and see how other companies build software.
