About me

I have been passionate about computers and tech ever since I was a kid. After getting my Swiss Matura at Collège de Gambach, I attended EPFL and then HEIA-FR. However, these two highly traditional academic paths ultimately didn't suit me: I simply hadn't found the right avenue to express my passion. That is why I turned to 42, a school with no classes or teachers, where learning is driven by projects, peer-to-peer collaboration, and complete autonomy. It is a teaching method that perfectly aligns with how my mind works. And I absolutely love it.

To gain independence, I have also held several jobs since 2016. I worked at L'Unique restaurant in La Roche regularly during the summers, then full-time at McDonald's in Avry between 2021 and 2023 (aside from a break to attend EPFL and HEIA-FR), and finally at the Swiss Post distribution center in Givisiez throughout 2024. These days I'm mainly focused on my technical training in IT.

Outside of coding, my experience in the restaurant industry sparked a genuine passion for cooking, though I prefer to keep it as a hobby rather than a career. I also enjoy competitive gaming, scuba diving (Open Water certified since 2019), music, traveling, and fitness.
