Very cliché… I wanted to be an astronaut.
I really love computers. And I always told myself that I wanted to have a job that I love-doing things I love on a daily basis. So Software engineer studies were kind of obvious to me.
I was kind of getting bored by the way, especially in France, people want you as an engineer to finally become a manager. I really didn’t want that. I wanted to be an expert in my field and I felt like a consulting company may give me more opportunities to do that.
Currently I’m working on building wireless audio earbuds; like Apple’s AirPods. In that mission, I’m optimizing working processes. Basically, I’m helping people to be more efficient at what they are doing.
Usually what I say is that Software developers do programs for humans. But I do programs for machines.
Challenge yourself. Learn, learn, learn… And love your job. If you don’t love your job, you will fail.
I hope to be still at Nalys, if things keep getting the way they are. I really enjoy the things I’m doing at Nalys right now so… It is a very fuzzy question for me.
Self-driving cars. When I was a kid, that was something I really really loved. I was like: “ Why is there no self-driving car?” And when Tesla finally made the first actually self-driving car I was really excited! I wanted to do that.
Hummm… I’m a geek, so everything related to gadget, like things automatically driving or machines doing things on their own. I’m also interested about the aeronautic industry. So, something in one of those fields.
I run a lot. This is something I actually started doing 3 years ago. I did my first marathon last year, and I’m actually running the Brussels marathon next week. So yeah… I love running!
I make mini-pizzas.
Winter has come…
