After my high school studies, I decided to specialize in the automotive field. So I went to study automotive engineering in Grenoble where I obtained a master's degree in mechanical engineering for passenger vehicles.

Passionate about OBD (On-Board Diagnostic) technology, which allows drivers to diagnose their car themselves using the elaborate system embedded in their vehicles connected via Bluetooth/Wi-Fi or USB with a compatible personal computer such as Windows PC/ Linux/MacOsX such as ELM327 WiFi), I started my professional career as a technical writer after having completed several practical internships with different Lyon automobile garages in order to deepen my technical knowledge for this sector and acquire sufficient practical experience necessary that could be useful when products software achievements.

Over the years, I had developed some additional passions in particular: travel, computing (IOT & IP Networks) and Jazz music. It is thus that thanks to these additional skills enriched during all his extra-professional adventures that he was able to establish a bridge between his professional and private life offering him more equally interesting and diversified professional opportunities

I like working on complex projects linked to this fairly cutting-edge technology (preventive maintenance, advanced engine error diagnostics) because it allows me to take on stimulating technical challenges which constantly improve my skills and my expertise in this sector.

As a technical editor for Bosch France, I often had the opportunity to participate in seminars organized by their partners, suppliers or internal distributors. Thus during a professional trip to China to attend a conference on new trends in the Chinese automotive market ( 2020)
