Code |
I like to code (mostly Javascript and CSS, sometimes SQL). I usually build user interfaces for startups. I am very interested in metadata and model-driven architecture (often found in code generators, low-code platforms, and data visualization). I experiment at work and with my open-source project Evolutility model-driven UI and backend. I sometimes graph the network emerging from these projects as they get stars and forks on GitHub. My favorite quote about programming is "Smart data structures and dumb code works a lot better than the other way around." - Eric S. Raymond in The Cathedral and the Bazaar. |
Cooking |
I like to cook (and eat), especially desserts. My specialties are crèmes brûlées, pear cream tart, and madeleines. I sometimes experiment with salty madeleines. Salty madeleines with duck prosciutto are really good, but I still prefer the sweet madeleines with lemon zest and pine nuts. I'm learning to make cannelés. They are good but it may take a few more trials before I can get the perfect consistency. |
Inspiration |
I like to look at fractals (where Math becomes visual art) and to think about morphic resonance. I also like visual art made by humans... and it often contains fractals or the golden number. Sometimes I try things like carving a book. My favorite game is the game of Go. I mostly play online. With very few rules, and a lot of possible moves each turn, Go is more of an art than a calculation game. Also, because you can win by "building" more territory than your opponent, it doesn't have to be as aggressive as Chess. |
Graphic Novels |
I like to read and collect graphic novels, mostly sci-fi and fantasy, usually in French. ... and sometimes in English. |
Movies |
I like to watch sci-fi movies and anime but I do not own a TV. Of course, I also enjoy French movies. |
Meditation |
I like to meditate. It keeps me sane. I'm (slowly) learning to play the handpan. |
