DJ Finance
Does he remember his first contact with computers? The answer doesn’t take long: “I was about eight years-old, my brother gives me his old me game console, I became electrified, and the passion for games has never left me”, remembers Arthur, today a functional finance consultant.
From there, Arthur will develop an appetite beyond what’s normal for computing. “Wednesday afternoon, my father allowed access to games on his computer, I loved it. I wanted to know how it worked, I was passionate.” When he was sixteen, he builds computers from A to Z for his friends, depending on their budget. “Financially, it was more interesting for them and for me, it was but from a technical standpoint”, explains Arthur. And more generally, he’s not the kind to get cold feet.

Does he remember his first contact with computers? The
answer doesn’t take long: “I was about eight years-old, my
brother gives me his old me game console, I became
electrified, and the passion for games has never left me”,
remembers Arthur, today a functional finance consultant.
From there, Arthur will develop an appetite beyond what’s
normal for computing. “Wednesday afternoon, my father
allowed access to games on his computer, I loved it.
I wanted to know how it worked, I was passionate.”
When he was sixteen, he builds computers from A to Z for
his friends, depending on their budget. “Financially, it was
more interesting for them and for me, it was but from a
technical standpoint”, explains Arthur. And more generally,
he’s not the kind to get cold feet.
Nouvelle France!
Even in the extreme Montréal winter temperatures. Towards the end of the 90s, his
parents open a bed and breakfast in Canada. “Storms are frequent and when temps
drop to - 4°F, the authorities advise people to stay at home. No school those days,
remembers Arthur with a smile, then a middle and high-schooler. But, if you were
bundled-up, nothing would problem for us to play in the snow!.”
Of the former Nouvelle France, Arthur keeps the openness of mind of its inhabitants,
their dynamism and a real kindness. Still resonates in him their defense of French
culture and a certain pride to be part of it. Back in France, schooling goes on
classically for an Arthur curious about everything, a bit turbulent kid who finds
sometimes hard to resist to crack open stink bombs in class. Nothing that will
prevent him for earning a master’s in systems information at the Polytech Nice
Sophia University.
On known terrain
After graduation, a friend gives him a contact at Avanade. There, he discovers the
business of ERP pro-software integration. He works on Geodis with Jonathan, an
external Flexmind consultant. A bond is created. Their paths will diverge but will
cross again. Later, Arthur will choose Flexmind, with a more human size, that
Jonathan will leave, just before his arrival.
Some years later, Arthur becomes a freelancer and leads some assignments,
without really being busy full-time. Jonathan contacts him then for a year-long
assignment. Arthur enters the FiveForty° ecosystem but does not reach terra
incognita. “I already had the opportunity to work with Jérôme on Geodis. As well as
with Hervé, Amel and Michel. I did feel at ease”, completes Arthur. Today, the young
consultant works again on Geodis, here again on known terrain. “I had had the
experience of the Geodis solution in the past. It is a truly very specific solution and
it’s a real advantage to know all of its ins and outs.” Today, transversal subjects
keep him likewise busy such as SQL databases or the writing of specifications linked
to the finance realm. In his work, Arthur would like to spend less time behind the
screens, but, being realistic, he adds: “there will always be deliverables that make
this time incompressible.” On the other hand, what he appreciates in his work, it’s
the permanent newness: “Even if it’s still about finance, it’s stimulating; never the
same old-old from one client to the next.”
The right mix
In all situations, Artur knows the music. Even outside of work. His activity as a DJ,
a passion he shares with his girlfriend Mélanie is proof. Together, they are the life of
evenings in bars or on péniches (former river-going boats) getting together
sometimes up to 400 persons. “We play in particular Chicago and US music from
the 98s. Rhythms issued from an Afro-American culture that knew how to sample
funk and jazz standards without denaturing them, making one’s feet instantly
keep the beat”, this BPM* specialist tells us, who, no doubt is not done making
numbers dance.°
