Programming on a 100 euro laptop sparked my passionMy programming journey began at UVSQ University, near Paris, with a 100 euro laptop that barely ran Windows and a VM with 4GB of RAM and 32gb of HDD. Despite the limitations, I was hooked the moment I started learning C through problem-solving. I became obsessed with coding, diving deep into experimentation far beyond what the classroom was offering at that time. When COVID hit, I became disillusioned with how programming was taught, so I charted my own path and left university to learn on my own, self-learning Python, PHP, and JavaScript.I quickly realized I was missing guidance and organization due to a lack of diverse practice and group experience. This led me to join the Coding Factory, where I embraced the agile school method, learning through planning, doing, failing, and collaborating. My passion intensified as I continuously pushed my limits, learning new languages, diving deeper into paradigms, project structures, clean code, workflows, API security, and more. In my second year, I tackled web development as a full stack developer with a preference for backend and scripting, proving to myself that I could manage and create almost anything with time, including web design, albeit slower than an artist.As my skills advanced, I found my coursework repetitive, so I ventured into new territories not covered in my classes. I explored Blender to generate my own 3D assets for websites, experimented what vertical and horizontal scaling meant for a server, fell in love with Rust and learned system administration to avoid being limited to local development.Now, I’m in my fourth year, focusing on finding an apprenticeship while working towards building my own project in the future. Having already traveled to the USA (California) to broaden my perspectives, I’m now clear about my passion for creating meaningful solutions and exploring innovative ideas. While my long-term goal is to launch my own venture, I am currently seeking an apprenticeship.------- Skills and Technologies :- Languages: Rust, Lua, Typescript, Kotlin, Python, PHP, Java, Android, Swift, SCSS- Database : Mongodb, Postgre, Mysql, incoming Surrealdb- Frameworks and Libraries: Next.js, Nest.js, Yew, Actix, React, Vue, Angular, Yjs, Laravel, Tailwind- Web Development: mobile/desktop first, SEO, SSR, ISR, PWA, MVVM - MVC - SNAKE architectures, state machine- Tools and Platforms: Git/GitHub/Gitlab, Figma, Miro, LucidChart, Asana, Taiga- Other Skills: Problem-solving, persistent, attention to details, brainstorming
