My name is Dominique Bello and I'm French. I live and work in Paris. Since I got married Italy has been my adopted country.
I've been a dedicated frontend web developer for 4 years. I make websites to reflect the unique personality of my customers' brands.
As a project manager in FMCG marketing, I've always enjoyed continuous learning and problem-solving. For over 15 years, I worked with international teams of developers to launch online surveys, whether BtoB or BtoC. About 4 years ago, I decided to broaden my horizons and trained as a self-taught web developer.
Today, I can finally reconcile my passion for web development with my professional goals.
In addition to French, my mother tongue, I also speak English and Italian. I particularly used English in my previous experiences, and almost every day since to acquire new skills in web development.

As his wife, I did'nt looked any further for mine!
And so Catevika was born.
