I have taken on various jobs in media and digital services before applying to Makers Academy as my next career move. Graduating from a web development bootcamp has been a great asset in my understanding of product/web development; I am now working as a product manager for EngineerBetter, Cloud Foundry specialists.

Skills/Technologies

  • Agile Methodology / Product Management
  • Jira / Git-Github / Ruby / HTML-CSS / JavaScript, React

  • London Academy of IT (2017): Responsive design / General Assembly (2018): Introduction to UX Design

Collaborative/Communication skills

  • Studying at Makers Academy has been the opportunity to apply my communication skills acquired through the years, notably through pair-programming, but also during the final 2-week project of the course, as our team had embraced the values of Extreme Programming to optimize the collaboration between each team member.

  • My partner-facing role at vevo (2014-2017) has also been the opportunity to be instrumental to the success of the company's operations by being at the crossroads between our music partners and our engineering teams, providing technical support and maintaining quality business relationships.

  • You will also see me at various meetups and events around London: it's always great to meet new people in the industry over a drink and make new contacts in the community!
