About Me
Bonjour! I'm a React Native developer based in Strasbourg, France, with over years of experience building mobile apps that are fast, functional, and user-friendly.
When I'm not coding, you'll probably find me planning my next trip, fine-tuning my coffee brewing setup, or hanging off a bouldering wall. I enjoy clean code, thoughtful design, and the occasional double espresso.
