Who I am

Solene Bary, 32 years old
Frontend developer - London


I worked three years for the food industry in the technical department in France and UK. These experiences especially brought me stress-control, time management and accuracy. In January 2017, I decided to change my career path and my whole life to become front-end developer.

Why? Because I need a work environment more challenging day-to-day and with a touch of creativity. I discovered the web development, especially the front end development and I enjoyed it quickly. I developed my development skills with OpenClassRooms, which is an e-learning platform recognised in France and UK. As a fast learner and having thirsty of knowledge, in three months I got 13 certificates in total: 8 in front-end development, 5 in design.

Have a look and go to see my work in the work section to have an idea of my projects.

My goal is to find a role I love and that will challenge me every day.
So if you are interested in helping me grow, don't hesitate to contact me.
