Étienne Baudoux // Software Engineer

About me

Etienne Baudoux I'm a 33-year-old Software Engineer based in Seattle, WA, originally from France. My journey began at 12 and I quickly developed a passion for making developer tools and desktop app development with .NET/C#. In addition to my professional work, I actively engage in various side projects.

When I'm not immersed in code, I enjoy spending time with my wife, my cats, playing video games, composing music, dancing and hiking. Welcome to my world! 💻🎵🐱🕺
