I got hired at Calypso Technology in San Francisco as a junior software engineer.

At that time, I was just out of school, having graduated with a master's degree in software engineering from EPITA. My total experience was a year's worth of internships.

After living in New Caledonia, France and India, this was my time to discover a new country, and I was excited about it, having already planned my staying with American roommates.

The position was going to be a challenge, and I was ready for it. I wasn't afraid of tackling a massive codebase, and understanding complex systems, since EPITA prepared me very well for it. However, learning finance was the most significant difficulty since I never got any formal training in it.

I didn't know it yet, but I was engaging myself in a life-changing experience !
