01 — About

A developer
built on people skills.

I'm Samuel, a full-stack developer in training at Ada Tech School (Paris) since January 2026, and I'm actively looking for an apprenticeship starting September 2026.

My path is a little different: before code, I spent 4+ years in hospitality, eventually running a restaurant. That gave me a deep grounding in leadership, coordination under pressure, and a genuine obsession with user experience — all of which I bring directly into building software.

At Ada Tech, I'm learning frontend and backend development, database design, REST API development and integration, and collaborative Git workflows in an agile, project-based setting. I learn best by building real things.
