Originally from France and aged 32, David is a Front-End architect and manager at Proximity BBDO Indian Ocean. ICT.io gave him the floor to let you discover his career and his job. Discovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

David, you are a Front-End architect and manager. Can you describe your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My job is a mix of Front-End development and web architecture. A Front-End takes care of the visible part of a website. Everything the user sees in their web browser and the direct interactions they can have with a website, a front-end developer uses programming languages to create. I also communicate with creative agencies
\nwith the aim of bringing coherence and the best possible result between the creative idea and its technical realization. I also take care of the 20 Front-End developers that we have at Proximity BBDO Indian Ocean, by accompanying and training them in the profession and in all the fields that it can encompass.<\/p>\n

You say you are self-taught: how did you go about training?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Above all, you must have a lot of patience and never give up. Being self-taught requires a huge investment, but the rewards always come with time. I started with the web at the age of 14 when websites were in their infancy. Internet connections were extremely slow, social networks and blogs didn’t exist yet, but there were already many enthusiasts trying to help those who wanted to learn.<\/p>\n

Books were the first thing that helped me to learn, I used to read at least one book every two days. Then these last years, blogs, articles on the web, tutorial videos allowed me to learn in almost all the domains related to computer science almost without having to leave my home.<\/p>\n
