Sylvain
I'm a Sydney based full-stack web developer loving web-apps and new technologies.
More About MeOnce upon a time, A man from Paris decide to discover new horizons. He made the decision to travel around the world and meet different people.Without speaking another language than French, it would be a challenge - but he wasn't scared of what might come.
Nothing happened as he expected.He fell in love, first with the city where he landed and soon after, with a woman. A new dream was born: Who has never dreamt of starting a second life?
Learning the language, working, and finding his way were the priorities.Technologies and computers were always a passion. Some tutorials in web development a few years earlier reminded him to follow his dreams. Some people think about changing their life, he just did it..
