Motivation
After years in the front-end development game, I finally decided to write a journal, written mostly in English (when it comes to tech, the choice of language is obvious, right?).
I have worked with Cher-ami studio for over six years. First as a developer and then as lead front-end. One of my favorite parts of the job was building the tech stack and associated tools that helped the team work efficiently. The second part was sharing my knowledge and best practices with the team. I prepared some sketches and documentation for our internal use (the best way to not be read 😄).
I also had the chance to be a student tutor and follow the progress and journey of younger developers by helping them structure their work. Mentoring and training are an important part of my current job, something that I also practiced in a music conservatory as a drum teacher before Cher-ami.
I think (and hope) this journal will be a good way to continue sharing what I learn and have learned, mostly about web development.

Last but not least
My first article, which is a bit lengthy, focuses on interpolation and the library Interpol, that I developed to facilitate this process. I hope you will enjoy reading it, let's go.
