Earlier this month Mikael joined the Popsink team as Software Developer but not only... he is also the very first permanent hire in the team! Welcome Mikael!
In a few words, I’m a developer specialized in Python and Vue.js. I actually retrained myself out of a previous barman career. I spent a few years following OpenClassroom courses and that ultimately led to my first developer job. After that I felt like I had to give back somehow and ultimately ended up as an OpenClassroom mentor myself. I’ve since worked in a few companies before ultimately going freelance for the remote convenience, directly needed when you’re living on a sailing boat.
Yes! My wife and I got tired of living in a big city and we ultimately left Paris in June 2019. I was used to it from my father. We got lucky and left right before covid and we’ve been here in and around Normandy since then.
I started looking for a full-time and permanent position. Being freelance has benefits but is also a constant hustle for visibility. At which point I also wanted to have more of a team environment and people to grow with. I was contacted about Popsink and found the technical test very refreshing: more practical than what I was used to. Ultimately it’s the technical challenge, the modern technologies used in the product and the work environment that drove the match.
Thanks a lot Mikael and, once again, welcome aboard and looking forward to building an amazing product together!
If you are also want to join an early-stage team to grow with, enjoy the benefits of remote work, and work on complex technical challenges, head here and have a look at our open position.
Thanks,
Your Popsink team.
