                portrait card with Aurélien

I am from the North of France. A beautiful region called Pas-De-Calais where we name ourselves “Ch’ti”. The saying goes that a stranger cries twice when he comes here. Once when he arrives (people think it rains all the time) and once when he leaves (saying goodbye to all his new friends)! French is my native language. I learned English in Florida where I spent 3 years. Since then I am fluent in English. I am honest, loyal, passionate and with strong ethics.

I am a programmer

I started when I was 16 years old by toying with html, css and javascript. I studied computer science at Skema and at the Florida Institute of Technology. I have a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science. I enjoy programming in JavaScript, Ruby and Clojure. I specialize in Web development . I have been working professionally for 14 years and it has been 22 years since my beginnings on the emerging web.

I am an aspiring Designer

I don't have a traditional education in design but I love it and I have the utmost respect for designers. I love mixing digital and classic techniques. I particularly enjoy typography and drawing. I am proficient with Photoshop and Illustrator. I have an eye for ‘pixel perfect details’. This gives me an edge in my work where programming and art meet.

I am a self-learner

I enjoy reading and learning about anything. It can be Art, Computer Science, marketing, management, sport…. There are tons of things I want to try out, learn and be better at. I feel there’s never enough time to do everything I want. Though I’m really trying!

Currently

I work for an amazing company based in San Francisco: Doximity. I work remotely from Valenciennes, France. To get in touch you can send me an email aurelien.bottazini@gmail.com or use twitter @abottazini.
