Biographie de Louis Bertson

Louis Bertson est né le 21 Juin 1998 dans la ville de Yako, au Burkina Faso. Dès son jeune âge, il a montré un intérêt vif pour la découverte et l'apprentissage.

Il a commencé son parcours éducatif à l'école primaire Petit Samba Yako, où il a jeté les bases solides de son éducation de base de 2003 à 2010. Durant ces années, Louis a démontré sa curiosité et sa passion pour l'apprentissage.

En 2011, il a poursuivi ses études au Petit Séminaire de Koudougou pour son éducation secondaire, où il a continué à exceller tout en développant ses compétences interpersonnelles et ses intérêts artistiques.

C'est pendant ses années d'école secondaire que Louis a découvert sa passion pour la musique et a commencé à apprendre le piano. De 2016 à 2019, il a consacré une partie de son temps à maîtriser cet instrument, explorant les nuances de la musique et développant son sens artistique.

Cependant, sa passion pour la technologie et le développement web l'a finalement conduit à abandonner le piano pour se plonger entièrement dans l'apprentissage de la programmation. Fasciné par le potentiel infini de la technologie, Louis a décidé de devenir autodidacte en JavaScript à temps plein à partir de 2016.

Son dévouement et sa persévérance l'ont rapidement propulsé vers de nouveaux horizons. En 2020, Louis a intégré la prestigieuse école Simplon à Ouagadougou pour approfondir ses compétences en développement web.

Sa carrière professionnelle a pris son envol lorsqu'il a intégré l'équipe de Switch Maker pour un stage de quatre mois, où il a acquis une expérience précieuse dans le domaine du développement web. Par la suite, il a rejoint Afric Consulting Group, où il a travaillé pendant plus d'un an, contribuant à divers projets innovants.

En quête de défis plus stimulants, Louis a ensuite rejoint Total.js en Slovaquie, où il a passé deux ans à perfectionner ses compétences et à explorer de nouvelles technologies dans le domaine du développement web.

Récemment, Louis s'est tourné vers le domaine de l'intelligence artificielle, où il explore les frontières de la technologie et cherche à apporter des innovations significatives dans ce domaine en constante évolution.

À travers son parcours, Louis Bertson incarne la détermination, la passion et la recherche incessante de connaissances. Il reste un exemple inspirant pour tous ceux qui aspirent à repousser les limites de leurs capacités et à créer un impact positif dans le monde de la technologie.
