HERVÉ « Don't worry, be happy » You couldn’t invent a character like Hervé if you tried. He’s kind of like our mascot, our resident “don’t worry, be happy” cool dude. Armed always with a bag of jokes to make us laugh, ideas that come a mile a minute and a cheeky smile, he’s who we call on 42 to make our favourite site what it is today. Mouse in hand, MacBook in front of him, he can work magic in just a few clicks. He’s kind of like the Mary Poppins of coding, our front-end developer extraordinaire who works tirelessly to improve our site’s user experience and navigation. Before Smallable, Hervé earned his stripes working for Cheerz and YouShould. If you’re thinking Hervé’s life sounds pretty cool (and you’re not wrong!), and you’d like to know more, here’s a quick rundown: He majored in web develop- ment during his studies. His diet consists of mainly of burgers, pizza and any other kind of fast food you can imagine; though he does claim to know that veggies exist. In his free time, you can find Hervé on Rue de Lappe in Paris rooting for his favourite football team or playing “Flemme Man” in the streets around Sacré Coeur (Editor’s note: “Flemme” in French means “lazy”, click the link below to see Hervé in action). A rapid fire round with Hervé, what would you be… …IF YOU WERE A TREE? An oak because it’s the only tree I know and they’re beautiful! …IF YOU WERE A COLOUR? Green because my nickname is “Veverre” and also because… it’s Greenable! (Editor’s note: “Vert” means "green" in French, but you don’t pronounce the “t”) …IF YOU WERE A FOOD? A chicken nugget ‘cause I’m crispy on the outside, but tender inside. FOR MORE HERVÉ, CHECK OUT AN INTERVIEW WITH HIM HERE OR HIS SIGNATURE “FLEMME MAN” HERE. ecfO kcaBfi
