## Work history

### Web Developer & Project Manager

*2016, Théra, Tassin-la-Demi-Lune, France*

Small digital agency, creating mostly corporate websites and software for events management.  
Working in a very small dev team consisting of my manager and me, I have quickly been **involved on all steps of the products development lifecycle**, then managed, developed, designed projects on my own.  
I also designed some generic tools for internal use, like a **Wordpress MVC plugin boilerplate**, or a **git-based deployment process**.  
**Back&front development** and way more : emailing, server management, deployment, helping-Françoise-who-do-not-remember-how-to-print-a-document... Once I've even been a cameraman !

### Freelance Web Developer

*2019, Self-employed, Lyon&Grenoble, France*

**Creating websites and applications** for small companies or organizations, specialized in **eco-design** to produce low-carbon solutions.  
**Product owner, project manager, business analyst, developer**... I got all the caps. Hired & collaborated with other freelancers for graphism, content...  
Worked with **various CMS and frameworks**.

_I also worked as a fruit picker, a theater receptionist, a musician, a music teacher in middle school, a web assessor, a section manager in an organic foodshop in France and as function staff, kitchen hand, service support and longlife assistant in Aotearoa. That's a lot of random useful stuff learnt on the way._
