👨💻 About Me
Hello there, I’m Antoine 👋
Most of my projects start the same way: “There has to be a better way to do this.”
I’m a backend developer specializing in internal tooling and developer productivity. I build CI/CD pipelines, create automation tools, and eliminate friction in development workflows. I use Linux, write code in Neovim, and genuinely believe that good software should be open, transparent, and shareable.
