My Journey
Digital Immersion
Intensive consumption of video games, sometimes up to 14 hours a day when I wasn't going to school. A dependency develops without me realizing it.
The Awakening
The moment of realization. I am not proud of the direction my life is taking. I realize that I am wasting my potential and decide to change radically.
Discipline through Sports
Beginning of weight training. Unable to do a single push-up at first, I learn the value of repetition. Progression is slow but real: discipline takes hold. In parallel, I start reading and learning, and I have completely stopped playing video games.
The Discovery of Coding
I go from being a consumer to a creator. I learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP. I understand that with a computer and curiosity, the possibilities are infinite.
The School of Failure
I start to be interested in entrepreneurship. I begin my first projects, but many fail or remain incomplete. Each mistake becomes a technical and strategic lesson. I forge my rigor.
The Evolution of the Approach
I become aware that I haven't progressed as much as I had hoped. I understand that I need to change my approach. I stop overthinking and decide to take real action.
And today?
And today? I continue to learn and build. I develop different projects, particularly around the web and technology. I am no longer the same person as two years ago. With time, I have understood that talent is often overestimated and that what really counts is consistency and progress. This site is a witness to this evolution: I am still at the beginning of the journey, but I know in which direction I want to move forward.
My Values
Continuous Learning
I deeply believe in continuous learning. Progressing each day, even a little, is the best way to move towards your goals.
Simplicity
I like simple, clear and effective things. Going straight to the point allows me to stay focused on what really matters.
Honesty
I think it's important to be honest and transparent, whether it's in my projects, in my way of working or simply about my age.
