Work with me

One sentence to describe myself

Happy, funny, full-of-ideas human who creates web platforms from 🇲🇺 Mauritius and enjoy life every day.

and who sometimes create cheesy self describing methodology you should love! :-)

Values

• Transparency / Honesty

  Whoever is careless with the truth in small matters cannot be trusted with important matters

  • Albert Einstein

• Curiosity

  We keep moving forward, opening new doors and doing new things, because we're curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

  • Walt Disney

• Happiness

  I've decided to be happy because it's good for my health.

  • Voltaire

Family

Father of 2 girls

Husband of 1 wife

I apply kanban to my family life (weird but worth it :-))

Personality

Love to experiment and I try to never read something great on the internet without trying it out soon after.

I’m a doer, autonomous but feel I’m a lot better when paired up with somebody I can exchange my ideas with.

I can talk to anyone about anything without being emotional (and that has not always been the case :-).

I automate everything I can.

I have a lot of ideas about building stuff, making the world better and I try to implement some of them.

I’m happy and to stay this way, the first thing we do in the morning with all my family is smile.

I love quotes and my favorite of all is by Coluche (a french humorist) and it sums up my mood today

When you think it would only take for people to stop buying crap for people to stop selling it!

• Coluche

Work environment

Work from 8am till 4pm, usually short break at noon.

Mauritius timezone GMT +4 (London +3, New York +8, San Francisco +11).

Sometimes music, sometimes Noizio.

Not often in coffee shops.

Sometimes with friends that work remotely too.

Sometimes from where my kids have activities to share this with them.

I use Gmail for emails as it allows very simply to use GTD methodology

I use there https://there.pm to locate my coworkers and know when I can ping them.
