My name is Damien. I'm a senior web application developer based in 🇫🇷 France.

I'm part of a 4-person team, building our company's internal applications and customer portal.

We use:

• Linux (Debian or Ubuntu)
• Nginx
• PHP
• MariaDB
• Vue.js
• Symfony
• RabbitMQ
• Docker

I work on the backend and I'm the team's frontend lead. I also keep an eye on our DevSecOps work.

I spend about half of my time on frontend and half on backend development.

• I 🖥️ write code (obviously),
• make 🍕 pizzas and 🍪 cookies,
• 🎨 paint Warhammer miniatures,
• 🕹️ play video games when I have time.

After spending so many years building web applications professionally, nowadays I prefer learning older technologies. I find the DOS/Windows 9x era very interesting : having to work with limited hardware resources, old-school programming languages and of course nostalgia.

I started using PCs with Windows 3.11 that didn't have enough RAM to run Duke Nukem 3D, and I learned programming with Visual Basic 6.

That's why most of the code you'll find here targets DOS... (C or Pascal) or Delphi/VB6-style applications built with Lazarus.

I'm currently interested in:

• C / Free Pascal / Lazarus
• DOS programming
• Building small native desktop applications
• Learning how software was written before modern frameworks

If you can't find me on social media, it's totally normal.

• I don't like them
• I think the world would be better without them

And yes, you can argue that GitHub is a social media in some way... You got me.

But if you find something interesting here, feel free to open an issue or start a discussion.
