  6. Today

    Towards a work-study contract

    Looking for a two-year work-study contract (alternance) — this internship can be its starting point.

03/ 06

Why this internship

This internship matches what motivates me: learning by building real projects, and seeing AI-assisted development up close.

  1. Discovering AI-assisted development

    This is what attracts me most: a development environment where AI is one of the tools. Used with hindsight, it makes some tasks more efficient — exploring documentation, producing a first version, tracking down the cause of a bug. This site gave me a first glimpse; I want to learn it in real conditions.

  2. Learning on real projects

    The internship follows a web project from the need to going live, like my projects so far. I discovered Astro and Cloudflare Pages for this site: I want to go further, in a team and for real clients.

  3. A door to a work-study contract

    I am looking for a two-year work-study contract, and this internship can lead directly to it. It is a real trial period, both ways.

A few kilometres from the office: no need to relocate.

What I understood of the role

Three areas, with the web at the centre. For each: what I understood, and what I can rely on today — without overstating my level.

  • Web development

    Core of the internship

    What I understand

    Gathering and rephrasing a need, scoping it, then building, maintaining and evolving custom sites with Astro, versioned with Git and GitHub — performance, accessibility and SEO included.

    What I rely on

    I have gathered requirements in real conditions: SAE 1.05, in the first semester, with a client in Toulouse, in a team of three. On the build side, my experience is limited to the La Trattoria site, in HTML/CSS. Astro is new to me, but its way of structuring is familiar.

    This is the area where I have the most to learn — the offer itself says it values the ability to learn.

  • Deployment & operations

    Going live

    What I understand

    Preparing deployments, documenting environments, managing DNS and certificates, automating what can be (CI/CD), reading logs, helping diagnose incidents and checking backups.

    What I rely on

    Network SAE: administering an Ubuntu server over SSH and idempotent configuration with Ansible — the same idea as a reproducible deployment. This site is itself deployed on Cloudflare Pages.

  • Digital governance

    ≈ 25 % of the time

    What I understand

    Listing applications, accounts and access rights, mapping data and dependencies, contributing to GDPR compliance, formalising processes (onboarding, offboarding, incidents), then turning an assessment into prioritised actions. Not producing a legal opinion alone: asking the right questions and preparing decisions.

    What I rely on

    The “Introduction to digital law” module (semester 2, “Law, Digital, Data” course), and my role as team lead in most of my SAÉs: structuring, planning, documenting, turning findings into an action plan.

SAE 2.01–2.05 · team of four · 2026

E-sports tournament manager

Desktop application to organise tournaments: tournaments, staff, teams, players, registrations and PDF document generation. Delivered in three planned versions (V0 → V2), with specifications, technical and user documentation, test book and acceptance testing.

My part

Team lead: project coordination. Player management (V1), team registration and registration viewing (V2), GitHub repository, planned and actual Gantt charts, documentation.

  • Java
  • JavaFX
  • SQL
  • Git

Context

  • SAÉ S2.01 / S2.05: evolving LiveTournois for the scenario client, RegulAIR, a drone maker branching out into e-sports.
  • Six weeks, three versions delivered (V0 → V1 → V2), 401 commits.
  • Organisation: GitHub issues and milestones, Gantt charts in ProjectLibre, documentation in AsciiDoc, Discord for the team.

What I did

  • Team lead: task allocation, repository follow-up, V1 Gantt chart and actual V2 Gantt chart.
  • Development: complete player module in V1, team registration and registration viewing in V2.
  • Documentation: V0 user documentation, V1 technical documentation, V1 test book, “registrations” parts of the V2 documents.
  • About 50 h of work out of the team’s 79 h, taken from the Git history.

Technical

  • Java 17, JavaFX and FXML, Oracle database via JDBC, passwords hashed with BCrypt, PDFs generated with iText, Maven build (.jar).
  • V0 base provided by the IUT, taken over then extended.
  • Unstable remote database (VPN, intermittent servers): the team set up a local Oracle database in Docker to develop and test without being blocked.

Review

  • Final acceptance test passed, except one feature: assigning a player to a team was not delivered.
  • Mostly manual tests: next time, unit tests from the start (JUnit, TestFX for the interface).
  • Actual cost of €4,738 incl. VAT against €4,080 planned (+16 %): balance the workload better and set milestones from the start.

Personal project · built with AI · since 2025

GameSoundtrack

An iOS app to explore and listen to video game soundtracks: a catalogue of more than 100,000 albums built by scraping, search, and an audio player with spectrum visualisation.

  • Swift
  • SwiftUI
  • Xcode
  • IA

Context

  • Personal project, born from two passions: video games and music.
  • Built with AI, which wrote the Swift code: I do not code in Swift. My part: the idea, choosing the features and testing the app.

Architecture

  • SwiftUI, MVVM architecture: views, view models and services kept separate.
  • About 6,200 lines of Swift, generated with AI.
  • Catalogue retrieved by scraping (SwiftSoup), then cached.

Features

  • Search, categories, Top 40, album pages with a choice of MP3 or FLAC.
  • Player (AVFoundation): queue, shuffle, repeat, sleep timer, lock-screen controls.
  • Real-time spectrum visualisation: Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) computed with the Accelerate framework.

Limitation

  • The equaliser does not affect the sound yet: presets are saved, but the player used cannot apply the effect while streaming.

Web development module · in a pair with Étienne Massonnet · 2025

La Trattoria

Showcase site for a pizzeria, written entirely by hand in HTML and CSS, with no framework — and no AI. An honest benchmark of what I can do without assistance, next to this site, made with it.

  • HTML
  • CSS

See the siteCode on GitHub

Context

  • First-semester web development module, in a pair with Étienne Massonnet.

What was built

  • A showcase page: fixed header, pizza menu with photos and prices, reviews, opening hours, contact; a legal notice page.
  • Flexbox layout, CSS variables, handwritten-style font (Dancing Script).
  • Versioned with Git and published on GitHub Pages through a GitHub Actions workflow.

Limitation

  • No adaptation to mobile screens: no media queries.

How this site was made

The brief requires the use of AI. Here is how the work was split between the AI and me.

Tools

  • Claude Sonnet 5“Medium” mode

    Confirming the feasibility of my ideas, and action plans.

  • Claude Opus 5.5

    Code: turning the design into a working site (Astro, layout, animations).

What AI did

  • Confirming the feasibility of my ideas and suggesting action plans.
  • Rephrasing the texts from my information.
  • Writing the site code, based on my design.
  • Preparing the visuals: converting PDFs to images, capturing La Trattoria.

What I did

  • Designing the site: the idea, the angle, the structure, the visual direction and the features.
  • Managing the project: steering the AI, accepting or rejecting its suggestions, getting things fixed.
  • Providing and checking every fact: background, projects, rankings.
  • Gathering the real screenshots of my projects.

A first difficulty

Converging with AI on the right decisions takes as much energy as the decisions themselves.

  • Reviewing every suggestion: a plausible wording can still be inaccurate.
  • Choosing, among several options, the one that represents me most faithfully.

Difficulties encountered

  • Getting the AI to understand what I really wanted.
  • Designing the idea of the site quickly, before being able to build it.
  • Finding innovative ideas, so that the site stands out.
  • Keeping the result from turning into low-quality “vibe coding”.
  • Finding the right prompts, for the code as well as for design reviews.
  • Discovering a new environment: deploying on Cloudflare Pages.
  • Getting the text size right with the AI: several rounds before reaching the right result.
