Autonomy
Independent, but present

I have often worked on small projects. My managers were happy with the results and with regular activity reports, and let me run the project on my own.

This autonomy helped me build skills in time management, planning and client relations.

Adaptability
Adapting and growing

Technically or functionally, I have always worked on subjects that were unknown and new to me.

I have faced obsolete technology, historical code and archaic architecture, and I adapted and grew each time.

Good listener
Understanding the client's needs

I like to spend time understanding the need. Writing clean code is good, but writing code that meets the client's needs is even better.

In high-risk or industrial settings, I talked with my client, understood the existing system and evolved it in a logical, lasting way. Regular demos let us check that the changes were going in the right direction for the business.

English
Comfortable in meetings and training

For 5 years, I have worked closely with American, British and Indian colleagues.

I am comfortable running meetings and training sessions in English on subjects I know well.
