Kavignon/README.md

Hi there 👋

My name is Kevin Avignon, and I am a senior software developer based in Montreal, Canada. I used to be a board member for the F# Software Foundation (FSSF). I led for 2 years the educative efforts for our international mentorship program and over that time, I had community members engaged with me as we built a platform to do match making between applicants (mentors/mentees).

You can find a list below of what I'm currently focused on:

    Some of the books I'll be recommending are based on .NET. Do not be discouraged. We shouldn't strive to stick to a specific technology stack. Your ambitions and goals will evolve over time and that might lead you a completely new space. Moreover, there are lessons to be learned from an environment that's different from what you're used to.
