Who am I ?
I'm a passionate and dedicated junior developer transitioning from a 14 years career in technical and editorial writing. As a hard worker and fast learner, I'm driven by curiosity and always eager to take initiative. My favorite playground is full-stack web application development: from designing robust frontends with Angular, Bootstrap, or Tailwind, to building reliable backends with Symfony, Java, and databases including MySQL or PostgreSQL. Currently seeking a 4-month internship from October 2025, backed by regional funding, to sharpen my expertise and deliver value to innovative projects. Let's build and grow together!
