At 16 years old I believed that to have a positive impact: ‘You have to work for a charity’.So I dedicated 5 years of my life as a full time school mentor in an underprivileged neighbourhood. I saw tens of children avoid dropping out of school on their last chance, develop a genuine interest in education, and ultimately start believing in their own future.This experience grew in me a deep sense of compassion, pedagogy and patience.But I started doubting, thinking it might not be the best way for me to have the most positive impact. I was still young and needed new challenges. I thought that a set of technical skills could open new doors, new ways of helping others and understand the world.In 2019 I joined 42, an innovative school that offers a master's degree in software engineering. This school works based on practice, doing project, putting emphasis on autonomy and creativity. I acquired multiple skills by using Git daily for 4 years, programming in C, C++, Typescript, assembly, writing HTML, CSS, using Docker, Kubernetes, NodeJs, React, and doing project with multiple schoolmates.I just did an internship within Datadog for 6 months as a software engineer.I was part of a dynamic and experienced team working an a cloud security product, with direct impact on the customer experience.I’ve had the chance to face various challenges like the huge codebase, collaboration between teams, delivering high-quality code and solving real-world problems.
But most of all I found that planning, managing, and high level conversation and questions are what I like best.There is nothing more exiting for me than thinking about strategy, objectives and how to accomplish things as a team.I discovered 80000hours.com during my internship, and I’m now convinced I can find a way to help people and be good at it.But I need more experience on the technical side, and I want to learn more about the critical problems the world is facing, or will be.This is my final year of study.I’m looking for a software engineering position where I can learn management and strategy.I’m striving for a start of my career.I’m thriving in a challenging environment, when planning and trying to solve ambiguous problems.
