Hi, my name's Laurent Fainsin, and I'm currently an L3 engineering student at ENSEEIHT in France. I study Computer Science and this is my personnal ePortfolio to showcase my work. Here is my resume if you are professionally interested.
+ +I have been a couple of times to the USA for a period of one month. Once during Summer 2015 in New York and another time during Summer 2017 in Los Angeles. I went overseas with a travel agency that offers students the opportunity to improve their English. We were divided into groups according to our level, I was always in the "advanced" so I mostly did these trips to discover America from my very own eyes. Indeed, half of the time was dedicated to studying and the other for visiting the city and the various activities that it offered. The key feature about theses trips was that we were placed in Americans families, thus I learned a lot about the American way of life and I improved a lot my speaking.
+ +I have always been in the top of my English classes. I currently have not passed any official certifications (like the TOEIC or the TOEFL), though from the various mock tests that I did this shouldn't be a problem. Although I'm not comfortable with the idea of speaking in public, I've had my share of talks (from various presentations in high school) so I know how to handle them. Finally, I also from time to time translate from English to French (and vice versa) documents from small open source projects.
+ +I studied Spanish during middle school and high school. While not a lot remains since I did not continue its learning, I am at least be capable of understanding a basic conversation.
+ +I started studying Japanese recently at my engineering school. I chose it since it is a vastly different language from the Latin based ones, so it seemed appealing. My goal is to get a certification and to study abroad in Japan during the international exchange during my second year (M1).
+ +Well, I'm native.
+ +Obviously I love Computer Science since I decided to go in an engineering school specialized in it. However I also like to fiddle around with electronics and aquariums, while also fooling around on the internet. In regards of sports I try to experience as much of them as I can when I have the opportunity, though for the moment I've mainly did Climbing and Archery. +
