Full Stack Software Engineer
Former Trilingual Tech Sales Account Executive




I'm a Full Stack Software Engineer with over 7 years of experience as a trilingual Technology Sales Account Executive. After spending most of my career selling to digital professionals, I started getting drawn towards working in a more technical role and joining their side of the table as the world is going to software.
After years selling finished products that other teams created, I decided to join the community of Software Engineers by leveraging my skills set and love for the Tech industry. I can now build innovative and inspiring technologies through passion and creativity, along with the opportunity of "selling" my own ideas and values, focusing on impacting the industry in a very different way.
I'm a Front-End Engineer at heart, passionate about displaying the tangible results of my code as an impactful UI/UX experience for the end user. I'm currently learning SwiftUI, D3.js and learning more about accessibility to reach all communities.
I am from the South of France and Provence is a big part of who I am. I speak four languages, one of them is French Creole: I moved every three years during my childhood up to my young adulthood (my father was an officer in the French Military). This allowed me to get to know many different places, discover new cultures, learn new languages and become highly adaptable to any kind of environment. I lived in Reunion Island in the Indian Ocean, Corsica in the Mediterranean, different regions in France but also Mexico, Florida and California. This lifestyle was all I knew and I see it as a unique opportunity to grow, embrace difference, celebrate diversity and as one of the most enriching life experiences.

03 PASSIONS
​
-
Technology (computer science, new ideas, connecting people through humane technology, solving modern challenges): gives me the ability to impact everyone’s life at a greater scale every day and to help overcome the challenges mankind is facing. The idea of working in this field and the possibility of positively and humanely impacting communities around the world is what drives my passion for Technology.
​
-
Arts (Digital Art and Design, Street Art, Gastronomy, Literature, Cultural Anthropology): In parallel, artistic activities allow me to keep learning about myself and others, enriching my imagination, communication, emotions and creativity.
​
-
Outdoor Activities (cycling, hiking, tennis, kayaking, team sports, zoology): I benefit from outdoor recreation by unplugging from the daily grind, improving my physical strength, focus and general mood. I live in Westchester county, NY, and fell in love with its lakes, mountains and forests. I love the energy of Manhattan during the week but find balance coming home at night being surrounded with Nature.
​
-
Traveling and Cultural Anthropology: I moved every three years in my childhood due to my father’s career. I learned to adapt to new places, people, cultures and languages: I developed emotional intelligence, curiosity and empathy to embrace these new environments and cultures, while getting to understand my own better.
