Who I work for

And many more…

Let’s do a quick interview

• Q: Can you introduce yourself?

  A: I’m Aurélien. I’m 23 years old. I was born in Mountain View, CA, USA. I then moved to Paris, France for all of my studies up to my Master’s degree in computer science. I graduated from Efrei Paris in 2023.

• Q: How did you get into the tech world?

  A: I’ve always been profoundly curious about how things work, especially the apps that I used on the computer as a child.
  Since I was already immersed in IT culture at home, I had all the tools needed to start exploring available at a young age. So, I jumped in and never left.

• Q: How long have you been working in tech?

  A: My first steps in computer science took place in 2011. I was then trying to grasp concepts by reading documentation and experimenting with scripts.
  I only started web development a year later in 2012, and Java in 2013. I earned my first buck by selling my services and software around that time.
  In 2016, I began working with bigger corporations on more complex business-grade projects. I founded my own service company in 2019, at 18 years old.

• Q: What did you study in college? How did you acquire your knowledge?

  A: I joined Efrei Paris, engineering school of digital technologies, in 2018. It has consistently been ranked in the top computer science schools in France.
  I majored in Cloud Architecture, minoring in DevOps and Cybersecurity.
  The vast majority of my know-how is self-taught though. Because I was already proficient before entering college, I used those 5 years to build professional experience and to learn the codes of the professional world.

• Q: What are some of your most prominent qualities?

  A: 1. I pay great attention to detail. Trailing whitespace? None. Spacing? To the pixel. Algorithms? Optimized. Edge cases? Covered. _{Hotel? Trivago.}
  2. I’m highly reliable and dependable, even in stressful and/or time-sensitive contexts. I’m often referred to as the cornerstone of teamwork I take part in.
  3. I have advanced problem-solving skills, including with highly abstract concepts. I’m thus able to see the bigger picture in complex environments.
  4. I’m honest about my work and in the feedback that I give. I can give constructive criticism about others’ work, and mine too. I own my mistakes.

• Q: What are your 3 biggest weaknesses?

  A: 1. I’m fairly uncomprising in my decisions and personal interactions. I do not praise easily. And I struggle settling for suboptimal solutions to save time.
  2. I’m rather taciturn. I’m more productive and only reach flow state alone. I usually prefer exploring solutions by myself rather than being dependent.
  3. I have a hard time working in unchanging contexts. I need to be able to acquire new skills and discover new situations constantly to stay motivated.

• Q: What are you passionate about?

  A: First of all, high tech, obviously. I’ve spent most of my spare time of the past 12+ years working on either computer software or hardware.
  I also like playing video games, travelling and flying planes. I love reading about space and more generally about innovation in science.
  Finally, I’m committed to openness of knowledge and information, as well as decentralization.

• Q: What are your mid-term career objectives?

  A: I aim at working for a leader in tech in the next 5 years, where I can evolve and discover new career paths. Additionally, I’m thrilled by solving challenging issues at a global scale and being impactful in IT. I strongly believe I can be a real asset for doing so through innovation as well as consolidation.
  I would also like to travel around the world while working remotely sometimes. Even if that means having to attend meetings in the middle of the night.
