Hi 👋, I'm Arno!¶
Here's a short introduction about me:
What I do¶
I'm currently working as a junior IT & Data Consultant somewhere in the very pretty business hub of La Défense, but I'm also trying to learn a bit more about programming and web development. I'm a self-anointed pythonista 🐍, but I'm trying to learn Julia & Javascript aswell !
I also work a lot with SQL at my current job, though I'm eyeing on the recent trends like Snowflake and BigQuery 👀.
Here's a picture of my workplace (and some others I took in the area):
What I'm working on¶
I'm currently working on a few projects, but I'm not sure I'll be able to finish them anytime soon. I'm also trying to learn a bit more about web development, so I'm trying to make a few websites. Here's a list of the projects I'm currently working on:
| Number | Language | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 🐍 | A few unpolished python packages |
| 2 | 🐍 | A python data API for eurostat related data |
| 3 | JS | A Vue.js website to slowly learn Vue.js |
| 4 | 🤓 | A small blog about math related topics when I feel like talking theory |
That's a lot ! But I also have some personnal matters ...
The personal stuff¶
I'm Autistic & Queer¶
I'm a proud Aspie / Neurodivergent person, I received an official diagnosis from Hôpital Saint-Anne in Paris, France a year or so ago. They're considered a bit competent on the topic so I trust them.
I'm also most probably trans 🏳️⚧️, but I'm not sure 100% yet. I'm currently trying to figure out how to go about it, the process is a bit complicated in France, but it's a work in progress.
I wrote a short piece about the relationship between autism and gender diversity a while back.
I like games¶
I'm also a big video game player, so maybe we can play together sometime ! I'm currently a bit busy with work, but I'd love to share some factoids about my favorite games.
I like music¶
I'm a HUGE music nerd, just to name a few of my favorite genres:
| Genre | Description |
|---|---|
| 70's rock | especially progressive rock and Cantebury scene / Krautrock bands |
| Bebop and Hard-Bop | The golden age of Bebop and Hard-Bop, especially the work of Miles Davis, who helped me bridge the gap between Jazz and Rock (I'm a huge fan of his work with John McLaughlin) |
| IDM | Especially the work of μ-Ziq, Floating Points, Squarepusher, and Boards of Canada |
| Hip-Hop | The classics, especially the work of MF Doom, Madlib, and J Dilla |
| Hyperpop | I'm a huge fan of the work of Charli XCX ! |
| K-pop | I've recently discovered I like K-pop thanks to League of Legends' KDA group, and I'm slowly getting into the genre .. |
| Metal | I love Gojira obviously, but a lot of artists here and there, the progressive Metal scene is pretty dope aswell 🤩 |
... and many more 🎵
I like math¶
I'm also a big math nerd, I'm currently trying to learn a bit more about statistics and probability theory, as I'm a recovering tentative PhD grad (I worked on Causal Inference back in Shanghai).
I'd love learning more, but I'm busy and already have a lot to do !
