About me

Hey! I'm Kevin,

I'm a Developer, Dreamer and Lifelong Learner passionate about design, arts and non-fiction books. I decided to build this blog because I wanted to show my work online, share my creativity and my learning journey.

📍 Currently working at Maisons du Monde, as a Freelance Fullstack Developer with Java & React.

My goal is to master the art of writing clean, maintainable, testable and scalable code with Java and JavaScript. I also decided to learn technical writing because I want other developers around the world to enjoy reading my articles. In the book Show Your Work, I found this quote that resonates with me ↓

Draw the art you want to see, start the business you want to run, play the music you want to hear, write the books you want to read, build the products you want to use – do the work you want to see done.

To be honest, I think that I would never have created this blog if I had never read the trilogy of Austin Kleon books named Show Your work, Keep Going and Steal Like An Artist. Those books motivated me to start writing and sharing my knowledge and thoughts online, so here I am, showing my work online! 😁

‌Life OS

1. 🧱 Work – I'm a software engineer and developer working in Nantes FR, I studied computer science for 5 years at 3il School of Engineers, and graduated in 2018.
   
2. ⏰ Daily – As a compulsive reader on and offline, on this website I share guides, tutorials, books notes and highlights on things worth remembering. But also my personal experiences and wisdom related to software developers career.
   
3. 📬 I write a monthly email newsletter. Each first Sunday, I share some thoughts about topics, along with links to books, articles and podcasts that resonate with me and perhaps will help you.
   
4. ‌🧬 Growth Mindset – I write a weekly blog article (most of the time only 2 per month). Sometimes, I also share experiences distilled into career advice, and wisdom from books that I have read.
   
5. 🎮 Hobbies – I enjoy reading non-fiction books, and I share in this blog those that I find very interesting and worth sharing. I also play basketball as a hobby, and I am a HUGE fan of NBA player Kyrie Irving.

Quick facts

1. 🤑 Money – I like money, and I'm not afraid to talk about. I also like how the investment system works, everything about stocks, shares and cryptocurrencies. Financial books helped me a lot to understand what money is about and how to play the infinite game.
   
2. ‍🔮 Vibes – I read, listen and watch all things related to Philosophy, Spirituality, Stoicism, Productivity and Absurdity. I like hanging out with friends and family, playing board games or having chit-chat convos about love dynamics #relationships.
   
3. 💕 Support – If you find this blog valuable for you (or at least one of my articles resonates with you) here you can support my work.
