I’m François Chalifour, a computer science student and Freelance web developer passionate about design. I love to build uncommon stuff and experiment new techs. I began programming at the age of 11 with the idea of creating a community of gamers. I quickly fell in love with code and have devoted myself to it.
I was surrounded by music and live performances from a tender age. I started playing the saxophone at 6 years old and the guitar at 11. That led me to play in several bands and to perform on stage.
