Every day I learn something new, and I always try to improve and reinforce my knowledge. Autonomous, autodidact, with also a great teamwork spirit, I want to be one of the main reasons why a company thrives. I mainly work on Linux environments, and I'm also comfortable with Windows environments.

APF Regional Director
During his internship in 2015, I've been able to appreciate the capacity of Mr. BIRSTER to study and implement a given project, by applying the instructions of work and fulfilling the missions entrusted. I am certain that with the acquisition of more experience, Mr BIRSTER will become an effective collaborator.
Teacher at Lycée Édouard Branly
A serious student, it was initially difficult to understand the expectations of post-baccalaureate studies. This did, however, not discourage him and he has found his place. The fact remains that Joffrey has shown seriousness and good will to succeed. These qualities suggest that he will be able to invest himself in obtaining a higher diploma. This opinion is also supported by positive feedback during his internship in 2015, during which he has been blooming and invested.
