“I have always known that I wanted to become an engineer. Since childhood, I have been passionate about building and repairing things. I used to dismantle old appliances at home just to understand how they worked. Once, I even nearly set the house on fire after trying to restart a washing machine at age twelve. It was a bit too complex electronically for me at that time, but this curiosity and love for tinkering never left me.

After high school, I chose a scientific path and entered preparatory classes in mathematics before joining an engineering school in La Rochelle. During this time, I had an internship in the aeronautical sector, but I quickly realized that production-oriented roles were not for me. I am more attracted to technical studies and programming. That led me to pursue a Master’s degree in mechatronics, which combines electronics, programming, and mechanics. During my studies, I worked on a project developing an electric bicycle recharged with solar panels. I enjoyed it so much that I continued with the project for two years.”
