Hello! I'm ma.e

I love food, music, people and I love code

I'm currently teaching at BeCode in Belgium to adults how to become a great webdeveloper. The secret is that it's not (only) about code, it's about having a brain and a heart and being human.
I'm also working as a UX Designer and a Project Manager on several internal projects.
Before that, I was working in the web industry in design, developpement, and in database. And before that, I was in France learning how to become an adult (ish).

Also I like to

  • Write Code
  • Write books and stuff
  • Big fan of Hot Chocolate
  • Always fight for peace
  • Inspire people to become amazing
  • Aim for the moon: even if you miss you’ll land among the stars

FAQ

What makes you happy?

Hot chocolate, my nonna's lasagne and my cats. And also when my interns finally understand they're amazing.


What's your favorite programming language?

I prefer PHP but as a coach, I prefer not to proselytize and encourage my interns to discover by themselves discover their own sensibilities. Everybody is different :)


If you had a hero, who would it be?

I have a lot of heroes:

  • Leeloo. She's one of my best friends in the world, she's talented, she's my muse, she's a better version of me.
  • Andrew W.K. He's inspiring me everyday to keep calm, to stay positive and enjoy life.
    Never mistake a bad day for a bad life.
    - Andrew W.K.
  • Lil BUB. She's a miracle cat. She was born in 2011 with a lot of healthy problems and she wasn't supposed to live more than a few months. But she's still alive, she's fine and she and her dude donate a lot of money to help animals. She's for me the leaving proof that nothing is impossible.
  • Aaron Swartz: He was a programming prodigy and information activist. He died at the age of 26 but despite his young age, he helped developping the internet we have today, tried to do his best to spread knowledge and fight social injustice. I named my classroom after him.


The toilet seat, raised or not?

Let me just tell you this: the toilet seat cover exists to prevent splashing. It prevents to put pee and poop on the seat, on the wall and on the floor. So whether you sit or stand, whether you're a man or a woman, you flip the toilet seat cover. Period. You're welcome.


Im looking for an intership. Do you have advices?

Sure!

How can I contact you?
