Passionate about technology from a young age, he decided to forge his own path and develop both small and large applications, all with passion. <\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">In a nutshell, what is your job?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like to say that my job is to <em>\u2018make the abstract concrete\u2019<\/em>: I take lines of code (abstract to the average person) and transform them into something visual (concrete).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">Where are you from?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I grew up and was educated in Geneva, notably at the <a href=\"http:\/\/creageneve.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">CREA<\/a> school where I obtained a Bachelor&#8217;s degree in web and applications. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs, I have always dreamed of having my own business. That&#8217;s why, as soon as I had the opportunity, I decided to dive into the Geneva web scene!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I was 16, as a self-taught individual, I have gravitated towards websites and digital products where I have been able to contribute my skills as a technical expert. My passion for technology naturally led me to the world of apps, which I create in my spare time to meet everyday needs. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">What is your role in O\u2019Matic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I take care of all the technical stuff! Front-end, back-end, HTML, CSS, JS, PHP, TypeScript (and so on) are my daily activities! \u2028If you don&#8217;t see me behind my favourite code editor developing or testing new things, you&#8217;ll probably find me jotting down new project ideas or browsing the web to find the latest innovations to bring to yours!  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">What do you enjoy most about your job?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have always been interested in how things work and, above all, in the needs they fulfil. Successfully developing applications on my own is a way for me to meet needs that have not yet been satisfied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can&#8217;t go a day without thinking about a new project! Web development, and especially app development, allows me to create without ever getting bored. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">What is your vision for O&#8217;matic?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My primary goal is more of a UX (user experience) goal, as I want to develop in order to meet needs and address shortcomings in everyday life by providing tailor-made solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My second goal is to design applications under the O&#8217;Matic banner to meet needs&#8230; Wait, I&#8217;m repeating myself a bit, aren&#8217;t I? As you can see, I love creating applications and websites, while respecting the values that are important to me: localism (no need to go across the Atlantic to find good services), economy (not everything that is good and beautiful has to be expensive), respect for data (GAFAM doesn&#8217;t need to know everything)&#8230; <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mb-6\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading title--h4 mb-3\">What are your values?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I share pretty much the same values as <a href=\"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/team\/chloe-chassany\/\" data-type=\"team\" data-id=\"259\">Chlo\u00e9<\/a>. Is that the very reason why O&#8217;Matic was created?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To begin with, I would say that my greatest asset is <strong>passion<\/strong>, if that can be considered one. Creating with passion allows me to take an interest in all projects, whatever they may be, providing a solution that suits them, while enjoying my work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Secondly, my desire to do well (and perhaps my Swiss side) encourages me to be <strong>transparent<\/strong>. I didn&#8217;t choose my profession to get rich, but because I wanted to <strong>share<\/strong> useful information. I would much rather explain to my clients how they could optimise their products than send them a hefty bill!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, the values that bring everything together are <strong>humanity<\/strong> and <strong>ethics<\/strong>. I don&#8217;t necessarily want to be the best, because once you&#8217;re the best, the only way is down. I&#8217;m interested in everything, especially the person in front of me. If you call on me, I&#8217;ll ask you lots of questions (your choice) about when\/why\/where\/how&#8230; you came up with your idea and your need.<br\/>My goal is not to grow my portfolio with a plethora of projects, but to create meaningful achievements, whatever they may be.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1031,"template":"","class_list":["post-1030","team","type-team","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team\/1030","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/team"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/team"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1031"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/o-matic.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1030"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
