A bit about me.

I was born in the south of France, and it was there, in 2007, that my father first introduced me to the internet by showing me Wired 1.x. The community I met that evening, and the early conversational chatbots people ran on the protocol, opened something I had not imagined before: hacking, programming, and the patient work of building software. I started with AppleScript, then Perl, then Objective-C, picking them up one after the other, aware that I had just found what I wanted to do.

I had been drifting toward an artistic career up to that point, but I changed course. I moved to Paris, went back to school, and have since spent twenty years in software: first as a junior developer, and today as a project lead and software architect.

When Axel Andersson, the creator of Wired, eventually stepped away from the project, I picked it up. Maintaining Wired 2.0 on evenings and weekends gave me a real familiarity with the protocol, and a quiet sense that the story was not over yet. I have since moved back to the south of France, close to where it all started, and returned to my personal projects.

Wired 3.0 is the natural outcome of a long reflection, and the next chapter of a story that started almost twenty years ago.
