Hi! I'm NinjaPoulp, tech enthousiast procrastinating its way through life.

After studying computer sciences and software development for a few years I stopped at my bachelor in fear that companies would hire me to do management stuff. I had my fair share of internships and did some lousy jobs to keep my belly full (recommended in order to stay alive longer). During that time some of the nicest people I know also trusted me to do accounting and bookkeeping for their cultural voluntary group, using a web app called Assoconnect.

I had great work experiences in IT, doing Rails app development for a successful marketing startup, automation and KPI related stuff for a large ISP, as well as tech support for a Nagios based supervision SaaS.

The supervision thing did not turned out great as I wasn't hooked by the team's vibe. So... I quit. This allowed me to stay home for a while, do the couch potato for a few days, wait, no, weeks, ok... months, shoot I don't lke lying... What's the socially and professionally accapted ratio of xkcd fueled couch potatoing and doing productive stuff?

Anyway, after finishing YouTube for the second time I stopped doom scrolling, switched to a rolling release linux distro (by the way...), built a few dedicated servers, humbly did a bit of sysadmin and nerded myself to sleep tweaking i3wm. I also dabbled a bit lot with self hosting, leveraging my docker-fu and trying out various music and media oriented utilities (I'm a literal maniac over id3 tagging).

I want to talk about Udemy and the courses I signed in to learn React Native, Angular and TypeScript, but I finished none of them... Well that's just not true, I finished the one about TypeScript but never did anything useful out of it. Shame on me.

I'm currently diving in ~#$*`AI`*$#~ and managed to get some great results with self-hosted llama and stable diffusion instances. We also stole the reinforcement learning algorithm of some MIT folks with a friend to teach an agent how to beat Pokemon. These new tools are quite the trend and I can't help but regret not having tried them sooner.

In my spare time - i.e. when laptop's not busy generating some weird nu-garage-hyper-grunge jpop math core - I sport, hike, write, lurk GitHub, and play retro GBA games on my Raspberry PI, mainly Minish Cap and games from the Dragon Ball series.

I also do music: jammed with Ableton and played some raving techno and jazzy house records for friends back when I lived in Lyon. I've now picked up guitar and keys so I could finally say I know some "formal" musical instruments (in hope of getting girls to like me and agree to do the sex).

And... that's it. That's my life. At least a good chunk of it.

~didn't read lol

Well that's a shame because I really put my heart and blatant honesty in it.

Phew got me.

~We do cool stuff here at [insert solid and disruptive brand name], and we love vibrant and totally-not-validation-craving personalities like yours.

Now you're just flattering...

~Nah we really do cool stuff though. We work with high end technologies like [insert flashy JS framework here] and we care about the service we deliver. Our project scope is backed by our honest desire to provide value to our customers and by the feeling that by doing so we can contribute to something bigger than the sum of us. Wanna grab coffee? Tea? We could further discuss what we do here and where we'd gladly need some help.

That's a yes for me! Can the coffee be over Skype/Teams/MastodonVideo/Chatroulette? I'll bring croissants 🥐 (just for me though, unless you're still using fax machines?).

Feel free to reach me!
