Adrien Joly - Now

Previously, I worked 4.5 years for Whyd, freelanced for 1.5 years, and developed my own products for 1 year.

This is a now page, and if you have your own site, you should make one, too.

What I’m doing these days

I’m home in Montreuil, Paris area, France.

• 🚚 I’m about to move to a new flat in Montreuil, so Camille and I are spending some time giving visits of our current flat, and filling paperwork.

• 💼 Developing Algolia’s Custom Crawler and maintaining it in production for our customers.
  I have been the Tech Lead of that project since January 2019. Read the story I wrote about our migration to Kubernetes.

• ✨ Learning about clean code from experienced software crafters, and practicing TDD (Test Driven Development) and pair programming. This article gives a good introduction to that topic: How to Write a Good Piece of Code.

• 🎓 Teaching back-end programming with Node.js in several schools in Paris.

• 🌶 Always happy to accept concert opportunities for my band “Harissa”, now that our first EP “Karabana” is available publicly on all music platforms (e.g. on Spotify). Please let me know if you think of someone who would enjoy to have us perform for them! 🤗

• ⛑ Making sure that openwhyd.org (open-source music curation platform) keeps working as expected, and promoting it to developers through Hackergarten and ProgrammableWeb. We are open to contributions and/or donations.

• 🛠 I also love developing other side projects.

• 👾 As explained in “Make Game Boy music in JavaScript” (10-minute video), I’m developing an educational concert about chiptune music during which musicians would perform 8-bit music from the Nintendo/NES era, live, using MIDI instruments plugged to a synthesizer. Please contact me if you know any musicians who may like to collaborate!
