💭 For me, 42 means… discovering that my passion for aviation wasn’t just about flying, but about the technology and problem-solving behind it. I first heard about 42 in the news when it opened in Paris and decided to give it a try. During my first internship at Safran Electronics & Defense, I realized that the cutting-edge innovation I admired in aviation was also at the core of software engineering.

🏆 Today, I am proud... to be the first person from 42 to join Dassault. With an IT background, I’m grateful for the opportunity to work in a field that often feels out of reach without a traditional engineering degree, and I hope this helps pave the way for others who share the same passion.

💡If I had to give one piece of advice, it would be... to look for the links between what you love and what you learn. Even if your path changes, your curiosity and persistence will guide you,  just like they did for me, from the cockpit to the code.
