From academic failure to self-discovery
At 20, my academic path? A series of failures. Only bright spots: sports and video games. The standard education system and I never matched. What I learned from it: everyone learns differently. Period.
Learning through professional environment
Seven years in event security. The first two years taught me the essentials: reliability and commitment. No room for excuses. I developed a solid work ethic, but quickly realized I was looking for more.
Exploring new perspectives
Back to studies: CESI, CESS, then sociology and e-business. This period was difficult to explain to employers, but I thought getting more education would open more doors.
- Sociology is nice, but it lacked action.
- Juggling studies and work is truly complicated in the long run
Adaptability in times of crisis
My son was born during COVID. I ended my studies, which promoted too much individualism, and decided to take on more professional responsibilities.
I took an unglamorous job but brought order to it, giving everyone space to be heard and taking their opinions into consideration. Using existing procedures to improve, coaching instead of reprimanding. Result: record performance for the center.
Lessons learned: managing 20 people without a manual, adapting when everything goes sideways, understanding that succeeding too quickly creates jealousy and can burn you out.
Successful transition to IT and entrepreneurship
Following this crisis, I decided to reinvent my career by diving into IT. Starting with basic PHP knowledge, I quickly progressed to JavaScript, advanced CSS, and mastered modern technologies like Vue 3, Vite, Bootstrap, and GSAP.
- After training at BeCode to structure my knowledge, I realized something: the traditional job market doesn't fully leverage the value of a profile like mine, combining diverse professional experience with technical skills.
- I transformed this challenge into an opportunity by launching my own development services. This independence allows me to offer a unique approach, where my professional maturity and systemic vision become real assets for my clients.
Autonomy and non-linear learning as keys to success
My journey has taught me an essential lesson: autonomy and adaptability are the true drivers of professional evolution. This philosophy now guides my approach:
- Taking charge of my professional development and recognizing lessons in every situation
- Seeking concrete learning while remaining flexible in how I learn
- Accepting that detours are often necessary and enriching
- Staying curious and open to opportunities while keeping my goals in sight
