Even though I wrote my first HTML years ago, I only decided to become a developer during my studies of Media and Communication. I specialized myself in web development (PHP, CSS, SQL, …) and worked for an agency for a couple of years.
Because my main goal in life was to see the world, I then turned to contracting as a means to finance my travels by working remotely on short-term, fixed projects. During about four years I delivered full-stack websites (WordPress backends, JavaScript interfaces, web designs, …) to – mostly French – agencies from South Korea, Australia, Turkey, India, Thailand… From project management to client support, my time in the East improved not only my dedication to programming, but also my professional reliability.
More recently in the West, I worked – for nearly two years – on more various and interesting projects (Computer Vision, Python APIs, JavaScript applications, …) for Colombian and American startups. I discovered a lot, and gain confidence in facing aspects of programming I’m not familiar with yet.
I always have some running side-projects to keep up to date with the fast evolution of our industry. Yesterday I made desktop applications (React, Redux, Electron, …), today I use microcomputers and electronics (Internet of Things, Raspberry Pi, Python programs, …), tomorrow I will explore things like deep-learning or 3D (TensorFlow, Three, OpenCV, …).
I consider myself a Pragmatic Programmer, a documentation reader, a passionate coder. It has been great to be independent, but today I’m looking to join a team. My partner and I are settling here in London, where a fixed position would be ideal. But most importantly I want my career to blossom, and it cannot happen without great projects and the stimulation of minds together.
There is absolutely nothing I cannot move forward, nothing we cannot achieve together. Let me work on great projects, let me work for you.

Etienne is relied upon to organise and prioritise the tasks required to complete any maintenance issues. His work is methodical, thorough and very importantly he maintains the work area in a very neat and safe fashion. He is a self-starter and can be relied upon at all times.
