About Me
I'm Damien Laureaux, French, 40 years old and 20 years of experience as Backend/Frontend Developer, Mobile Developer, DevOps and Cloud Engineer working in and for small to large companies.
Self-taught, effective problem solver who enjoys participating in the automation of everything to reduce manual processes, cost and improve the quality of the releases with a predilection for mobile app and cloud projects.
