Adrien Gibert

Full Stack IT Professional

I'm an engineer with 9 years of experience across 3 key areas: Front-End and Back-End Development, Automated QA, and Operations. My diverse background allows me to bridge the gap between development and operational excellence. I'm an AWS Developer and Python-certified professional with strong expertise in JavaScript. I thrive in environments where I can explore new technologies; I love to experiment, learn, and find ways to turn ideas into working solutions. I'm always looking for opportunities to combine hands-on development, cloud expertise, and curiosity to create reliable systems.
