Google arts and culture

From november 2015 to june 2016, I have been working with the Google Cultural Institute on the new Google Arts and Culture website.

Working in Google Paris offices was an amazing opportunity and I enjoyed this project a lot. Trying to facilitate access to cultural media for users from all around the world was very motivating.

The website was designed mobile-first and the first release was in fact mobile only. We then worked on a desktop version, sometimes transitioning from the mobile one, sometimes with a brand new design. Most of my work was front-end development using public Google tools (Google Closure Stylesheets and Google templating system) and an internal JavaScript framework. I sometimes had to do a bit of Java too.

Before this mission, I mainly worked for small start-ups, dealing with the infrastructure of a large project and Google workflows was new to me but I learned a lot from this.
