Hi, I'm Aude — a web developer, freelancer, and the person behind BlackCatMatters. I write about the parts of tech work that textbooks skip: changing careers, preparing for interviews, choosing tools, and building a sustainable practice as a woman in tech.
I've spent years building web applications across frontend and backend, working with teams and clients, and learning what it takes to grow as an engineer without burning out.
This blog is where I share those lessons openly — the wins, the pivots, and the practical details that helped me move forward.
When I'm not writing, I'm usually building software, refining my workflow, or exploring better ways to work remotely from France with clients around the world.
