Your feedback
Gaël created our WordPress website that perfectly met our needs. Clear communication, regular project progress updates and deadlines were respected. Very professional service, I highly recommend!
As a career changer specializing in full stack web development, Gaël followed the OpenClassrooms training program. Gaël's greatest strength is his determination: never giving up and always seeing things through to the end. Serious, diligent and rigorous, he was able to quickly build his skills and successfully complete his projects with excellence.
I had the pleasure of collaborating with Gaël on a FiveM server project in 2021-2022. While I handled communication and community management, Gaël was responsible for the technical side. This collaboration was very enriching for both of us, both technically and managerially. Gaël is an ideal collaborator, autonomous and easy to work with.
