Engineering ai

I arrived without ever having written a line of code. The turning point was the first full stack project: building Snackly from mock-up to deployment, with a real API behind it. The qualification matters, but in interviews it's this project they ask me to walk through.

After several years in construction, I wanted to move into advisory work. What I learned here: reading a thermal assessment, costing a renovation scenario and, above all, explaining it simply to homeowners who know nothing about it. That's 80% of the job.

Before, I made things look "nice" without being able to justify them. The UX workshops made me defend every screen: user journeys, user testing, design system. The La Ferme d'Ambroise website came out of that, and it was my main project all the way to the bachelor's-level qualification.

Two skills blocks validated, the third one coming up soon. Validating block by block changes everything when you go back to studying at 33: each block is yours for good, and you don't stake a whole year on a single exam.

I'm currently on a trial period in a company, visiting homes and putting together grant applications. Going from the classroom to the field is where you see what you've really retained, and what still needs work.

I took the qualification at 42 to go freelance. Today I work independently: I manage my clients from the scoping phase through to delivering the mock-ups. Changing careers later in life was never a barrier; my previous experience is even a selling point.
