Julien M'Poy (aka groovytron)

I am a software artisan, open source lover and contributor as well as a music weirdo. I am currently located in La Chaux-de-Fonds (Switzerland). You can contact me via LinkedIn, GitHub or GitLab.

If I had to pick one of the principles of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development, I would pick Individuals and interactions over processes and tools. I believe that open communication and transparency are key to a successful software development project.
