I've been an IT Consultant for some 25+ yrs, and a Web Developer for some 18+ years.  I enjoy Open Source software and like to give back how and when I can. I have done some extensive beta-testing for many different projects/softwares.

I speak English, French fluently. I also have some languages skills in German and notions of Norwegian.

I have been helping indirectly Joomla for years but actively to the Joomla project since ~ Feb. 2024.
