Adrien is a software engineer currently based in Nantes, France. While originally born in Normandy, Adrien called Brittany and Paris home while working on his education. Thanks to having teachers for parents, Adrien was always encouraged in both mental and physical pursuits, enjoying activities such as football, basketball, Aikido, and handball. After getting his baccalaureate, Adrien studied IT sciences, such as networking and the more physical layers, for two years before diving into IT programming. After getting an additional diploma for these studies, Adrien found an engineering school in Nantes, but soon felt he needed a more hands on way of learning. This led him to find another school in Paris where his time was split between school and on-site work. Being in this structure allowed him to focus more on programming, gain industry exposure, and better understand industry standards.
