Presentation

Bonjour,

Je suis Damien, développeur tout terrain et expert en accessibilité. Je relève les défis mêlant technique et humain.
Je crois en une technologie au service du vivant, et non l'inverse. J'analyse les besoins, m'assure de comprendre le contexte et questionne les pratiques.
Là où tout semble complexe, j'apporte des solutions simples et robustes.

Voici les services que je propose :

- Je suis « développeur tout terrain », je crée des applications métiers, des sites web, je conçois des systèmes numériques.
- En accessibilité numérique, je propose des audits (WCAG), j'aide à la mise en conformité des sites et je vous forme à ces enjeux.
- Enfin, je vous accompagne et conseille pour toutes les questions liées à la digitalisation et aux enjeux du numérique responsable.

Ma boussole ?
Le respect des humains, du vivant et des ressources tout au long du processus.

Mon fonctionnement ?
M'impliquer dans la relation client pour bien comprendre les besoins, travailler en réseau et m'associer avec des partenaires de confiance pour être robuste et pouvoir répondre de manière pertinente.
