I've always moved. Not by chance — by opportunism. When a door opens, I take it. Better that than stagnate.

Vocational diploma in electronics. Then the military, as a network technician. The army teaches you one thing: either it works, or it doesn't. "It works on my machine" is not an argument. No theory — just results.

Montreal. The Source. Tech sales. I learned to listen. Not hear — listen. Understand the need behind the demand. The most advanced tech in the world is worthless if it frustrates the person using it. I learned that selling computers, not programming them.

Then Vancouver. I took the bet. Already trained, solid references. I knew I had a shot. Top seller in the district. And a roadtrip across the USA. Because it was there.

Back to Montreal. Thought Technology. Soldering, assembly, EEG sensor testing. Medical devices, strict quality control. An error isn't a bug. It's a patient. Precision isn't a standard — it's a responsibility.

Then 200 GPUs for crypto mining. Made sense — I knew networks. Infrastructure too. But a good idea, without the right execution, is worth $20. That's the lesson. So I bet again. Become a developer. OpenClassrooms, intensive training. A fresh start — not by plan, by necessity. Every wall is a direction.

Thailand. Philippines. 2 years in Manila. Freelance, clients, projects. But a wall: people wanted to meet me. In person. And I was 10,000 km away. Distance isn't a detail. Back to France. Rebuilding. New network. And a new direction: CyberSec. Because strategy is knowing how to adapt. Not changing paths — following the terrain.
