Little bits of code
Tools born at the workbench, between two repairs. Every star is a week of work.
Each constellation is a tool. The brighter it shines, the more it is being worked on right now.
What comes out of the workshop
The public repositories, as GitHub describes them. The dot tells where each one stands: gold while it is being worked on, grey when it sleeps.

Hello,
I’m Samuel.
Not a shop, not a chain. A human being who loves understanding how things work.
Independent IT technician in Poitiers. I have always loved understanding how things work: taking them apart, repairing them, improving them. I started early by building websites, then moved on to repairing phones, PCs and other electronic devices.
After my GEII degree and two years at an industrial robotics company, I went independent. Working from my own workshop lets me offer fairer prices and real flexibility.
Outside the workshop, I love a bit of healthy madness. Some of you might have crossed paths with me running up the Dunes stairs of Poitiers for the UCED. Cycling follows the same logic: passion, and a lower carbon footprint on every visit.
The little bits of code on this page were born there, between two repairs: reading the log of a broken iPhone, keeping a server’s archive, riding further at night.

Equip the workbench
Everything here is free and will stay that way. If one of these tools helped you, a donation puts a tool on the workshop bench: the bigger the donation, the fuller the bench. The donation goes to the workshop, or straight to the project that helped you when it has its own pot.

The donation goes to the workshop’s pot, which keeps every project going.

A donation with nothing in return: nothing is reserved for donors, everything here stays free and open to everyone.
