About the Author

Table of Contents

My name is Arthur. I'm 30 years old. I was born and live in France, so French is my mother tongue, but I'm fluent in English thanks to my Canadian motherOntario, not Quebec, câlisse!. Since I enjoy writing in both languages, I chose the latter to have a broader reach.

author portrait

I do all the writing, designing, and programming on this website.

If I had to describe what I do, I guess I'd say I'm a professional overthinker with an artistic streak and expertise in dabbling. If that's too open for your taste and you must insist on some more tangible credentials, I have a degree in computer programming, and I've worked as a web developer for a few years. But being a corporate dev was never a good fit for me, and now I work night shifts in hotels. I also studied psychology a little at some point.

Look up my contact information if you'd like to get in touch.

My Main Values #

I like using Shalom H. Schwartz's theory of the 10 basic human values. Having someone sort them from most to least important is a quick way to get a general idea of what they're about. Consequently, it also serves as a good standardized comparison tool. The middle ones are the least interesting. The top and bottom three are the most telling.

With that said, here are my results:

Another way to word my two main values is Self-Determination & Fairness, or Universal Agency if we combine them into one.
