Welcome đź‘‹
I am currently open to new opportunities. I worked 14 years at Short Edition as co-founder and CTO. Before that, I studied at Polytechnique (France) and UCSD (California).
I am excited about web technologies, cloud infrastructure, data science, business intelligence, but also manufacturing, supply chain, and... accounting!
My CV is on Linkedin and you can contact me at quentin.pleple@gmail.com.
