About me

The human behind the screen

Who am I?
Julian-bourdes-profile-photo.jpg

A young Frenchman from the South of France, I'm driven by a passion for technology and people. I strive every day to become the best version of myself, guided by values of authenticity, confidence and self-improvement. My curiosity and ambition drive me to explore diverse fields, nurturing my ability to understand and make informed decisions. I firmly believe in lifelong learning as a vehicle for personal and professional fulfillment.

My hobbies
What's inspire me and build me up
  • Reading

    For 2 years now, reading has enriched my vision on a daily basis. I immerse myself in a variety of books, from technology watch to personal development, human psychology and entrepreneurship. This passion helps me develop a deeper understanding of the issues that surround me.

  • Sing

    For me, singing is a real creative outlet. Beyond vocal technique, which I perfect through lessons, it's a powerful means of emotional expression. This passion allows me to explore another, more personal and artistic form of communication.

  • Technology

    Passionate about innovation from an early age, I'm interested in a broad spectrum of technologies. From cloud computing to artificial intelligence and virtual reality, my interest also extends to civil and mechanical engineering prowess.

  • Travel

    Exploring the world, alone or with friends, has become a real passion. Every trip is an opportunity for cultural and linguistic enrichment. This curiosity has led me to learn several languages (English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Greek), opening doors to new encounters and experiences.

  • Swimming

    Recently, swimming has provided me with the perfect balance between physical and mental well-being. This demanding sport teaches me perseverance and discipline, while offering a precious space for relaxation. Each length is an opportunity to surpass myself, while respecting my own pace and abilities.

Diploma in Computer and Multimedia Engineering

Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers | Toulon, France

At the University of Toulon (2019-2022), in partnership with the CNAM, I completed a work-study program in Computer Science and Multimedia Engineering at EGERIE, giving me solid industrial experience. This multi-disciplinary training, combining computer science and cognitive science, made me particularly aware of user experience and ergonomics, reinforced by courses in interface psychology. I also explored immersive technologies (AR, VR, XR, Mapping) through the transmedia approach, enriching my vision of digital experiences.

My involvement in student life has been a real skills gas pedal. As class delegate for three years and President of the Bureau des Étudiants during the Covid crisis (2020-2021), I developed solid skills in crisis management, event organization, budget management and partnerships. At the same time, creating and directing the Global Game Jam Var over three consecutive years enabled me to hone my skills in project management under strict constraints, developing leadership, communication and logistical management of large-scale events.

This comprehensive experience combines technical expertise, understanding of user issues and solid managerial skills, forming a versatile profile capable of grasping complex projects in their entirety.
