About me
Intro
I am developing and maintaining fully customized web applications for high to mid-size companies since 2011. I based the foundations of my expertise on Ruby on Rails, but have expanded well beyond it since then. My fluency in English and French, along with the amazing people I've met in all these countries, helped me gather a portfolio of 20+ clients with more than 70 million pageviews a year in a wide range of industry (Media, Real Estate, E-Commerce, Military).
