Autopergamene

My name is Emma Fabre, I'm a software engineer originally from France. I'm someone with a passion for creating things and sharing knowledge, and as such have dedicated a part of my life to technology in particular the Internet, awed by what it could help us accomplish, the people it could help us find, and the way it could tip the scales of power. Those are all traits I care deeply about, being both transgender and autistic, since for years it's online that I finally found peers and people interested in the things I wanted to share.

Path

I started writing very early, then drawing, and so on. I went to an "applied arts" school which taught me how to communicate visually and forced me to expand my horizons and try a variety of medium. Along the way I learned the ways of the web by myself on OpenClassrooms (called Le Site du Zéro back then), but never did I imagine it would become my career and passion, it was just a mean to an end to showcase some of the things I had made. But when I started working in advertising and had the chance to put those skills into practice more and more, only then did I realize this is what I wanted to do. I was fascinated by the web, the open source community, and all the absolutely crazy things we could already do with the technologies of that time.

Eventually through sheer luck I landed at madewithlove, where I found people whose vision of the web, of being a developper, aligned so perfectly with my own that I've been with these amazing people ever since and I've kept growing there more than ever before.

About this website

This website was made with Gatsby and Typescript, it is entirely static which is why it's so fast (..sometimes, when I don't fuck it up). All data (photos, tracks, etc.) are centralized in a GraphQL API that all pages then query. The images used for the short stories come from Unsplash, here are the credits for them.
