2019
I taught Unity3D and C# to school students. My Java entry won first prize in Shanghai and an award of excellence in the national final; the certificate was issued by IBM.
A PERSONAL TIMELINE
A path so far.
From backend engineering, through a year alongside technical teams, and back to building software.
The year I spent on the other side of the table.
I wrote backend code in Hangzhou from 2021 to 2023, then spent over a year as HR Business Partner for technical teams. I restructured recruitment, cutting interview cycles by about a third, and built an AWS/SQL salary-review tool beyond my assigned work. That experience taught me to keep asking until the real business rule is clear.
Returning to engineering was deliberate: French school, English school in Ireland, AWS Certified Developer – Associate, then a three-year BSc at HEIA-FR taught in French. I now live in Fribourg.
Two tools I built in order to learn French
- Plume Française ↗ — a native macOS input method for French: accents, typographic spacing, and the agreement of past participles, implemented as rules. Shipped as a signed installer.
- wordcloud ↗ — 9,067 French words as a navigable graph, rebuilt from pinned DBnary and Wiktionnaire snapshots. Sourced relations are kept separate from the ones I wrote myself.
