I am Quentin, first and foremost an education enthusiast with a taste for adventure 🚀

And well, what an adventure 2020 has been...

I guess it was a big deal for pretty much everyone on the planet, so let me wish you and your loved all the best on that matter, wherever you are at the moment ❤️

After a career journey filled with diversity, inspiring encounters and passions, I made the strategic choice of heading straight towards web development, an impenetrable yet intriguing world that I had the occasion to get acquainted to back when I was working in startups 💻

Fortunately, this decision was for the best, as I happen to absolutely love coding. And yes, that includes me spending intimate hours with my laptop debugging, cleaning my code, debugging again and finally reaching that moment when the magic happens ✨

🤖  Over the last 6 months, I had the occasion to deeply dive into the following tech stack:

• The infamous HTML/CSS duo.
• The Bootstrap framework, to swiftly code a clean render for your page.
• Ruby, as my first backend programmation language.
• Ruby on Rails, as my first passport for app deployment.
• PostgreSQL, for database management purpose.
• Javascript ES6, followed by React.js.
• GitHub and Heroku, to get my code out of its cave.
• A variety of API builds, including notably Stripe and AWS.

🏆  Proudest achievements:

• Learning Stuff, the final project of The Hacking Project training.
• Pulpo Ludo, for the very rich experiental learning in terms of data management and backend logic.
• The following tutorial on How to implement Stripe in a Ruby on Rails app (in French). Hope it helped the community!
• This particular Social Network app, when it really felt like I understood the key principles of React.
• My first Tic-Tac-Toe, for the amusing challenge of adding a GUI on top of the game logic itself.

😁  Fun fact: Among my previous jobs, I had the entertaining occasions to work as a Latin dances teacher, as well as a magician. Did I mention "diversity"?
