Jean-Philippe pinpointed the start of his journey at age 11 when his mother placed the family computer in his bedroom. JP talked about his childhood, discovering coding, and the internet, being an excellent student, promising greatness, and dropping out. He spoke of being unable to find a tech job and working as a truck driver. He then explained how he started doing phone support and grew to become the leader of a few hundred employees while following his passion: learning. He explained how "being packaged out" came as a wake-up call. He described the last segment of his life in engineering leadership and how he found purpose in building systems of humans.
