A bit about myself before starting

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello,

Before starting to post I thought I'd introduce myself a bit and let the
community know what interests me and a few bits about how I ended up here.

Myself

I'm a French software engineer, currently unemployed, married to a wife having
a severe care of anxiety disorder.

I was pretty gamer for years and have some old habits leftover from that.

I worked a bit in the video game industry, before realizing I loved playing
games, but may not be fit for making them. Mostly because of the very close
minded ecosystems and how company behaved in this industry, especially here in
France.

A lot of this changed since now individuals and smaller studios have a much
better chance to actually publish and get money for their work.

After that, I turned to embedded software development, with an accent toward
network equipement. I worked in this field for around 9 years.

As my wife situation became worse, I made an arrangement to work remotely for a
while, when that arrangement reach its end, we parted ways, and I've been
unemployed since then.

Since I left my work to care for her, I've been reading and watching quite a
lot of stuff about anxiety and the way the brain works to try to get the best
ways to help her out.

After a while, I realized that maybe I should use all the things I learned to
try to do multiple things:

  • help other peolpe by sharing what I learned in an easy to understand form
  • find new ways that my knowledges can help people out
  • make some money out of it, not aiming at making the big bucks here, just
    thinking that if I can earn some small stuff along the way it would still be
    great.

That's what led me here, I thougt it could be a good place to share some
write-ups about my research in hope it can help other people and maybe get me
some steem! :)
