About me
My name is Vivien, I’m 36-year-old, French and living in the sunny south of France. I love cats, reading books and I do a lot of sports (table tennis 🏓, cheerleading 🤸, fitness 🏋️), which accounts for about 20 hours per week. So time management is quite the task as you can imagine!For the past 13 years, I’ve been working as a mobile app developer across companies of various sizes, from early-stage startups to multinationals. And it was around the time Covid-19 hit that the idea of solopreneurship popped in my mind.3 years later and a miserable last experience in a 9-5 job, I decided it was time to move on to a new chapter in my career. And here I am, November 2023, finally on my own, ready to fail and hopefully succeed as a solopreneur!You can also follow me on X (Twitter) for more daily content or to reach out.
