August 2006

I discovered the joy of programming at the age of 15, after tons of experiments with my Commodore 64; the next thing I wanted was to expand my knowledge and I bought a book that teaches basic HTML and how to build a simple website.

March 2007

Together with several friends, I ran a booth at a school event in the Lycée technique d'Ettelbruck, where I was in charge of explaining the structure of an HTML (web) page. The presentation attracted a lot of interest and motivated me to take my learning to a deeper level.

December 2007

Installation of a web server and launch of my first live website. This was the first time I used PHP scripts and mySQL databases. The result was a small social network, which people could use to exchange jokes with friends.

November 2008

School internship in the web development department of an IT enterprise: ION Network Solutions S.à r.l. I managed to collect a lot of valuable experience and make my first steps in professional programming as well as establish my first contacts in this business.

August 2009

One of these contacts recommended a hosting server I could use for my website and later invited me to join the IT company Compagnie Luxembourgeoise d'Annuaires S.A. The experience I amassed and the satisfactory performance I was able to demonstrate in advanced web development ensured that I was accepted for further vacation jobs.

March 2010

Thanks to one such job in the second half of December, I was able to get a MacBook. This signaled my introduction to iPhone app development. My first app, FF Radio Player, was accepted in the App Store without objections by Apple and welcomed by users with hundreds of downloads.
