Guillaume Briday

I'm a web developer who got to turn a passion into a job. Working at different companies over the years, I've built up experience with Ruby, PHP and Node.js, among other languages. I care a lot about software quality: a clean Git history, code that reads well, and functional tests I can trust.

In my free time, I keep learning and trying out new technologies, and what I pick up usually ends up improving my projects, professional and personal alike.

I love doing street photography.
