In June 2024, a new recruit joined the Meanwhile Boutique team. Meet Georges, our new copywriter intern!
Welcome, Georges!
To learn a little more about Georges, we asked him a few questions.
Could you introduce yourself in a few lines…
My name is Georges HOUMBADJI. I’m 22 years old. I was born and raised in Benin. I have a deep passion for optimization, whether in a literary, mathematical, or even philosophical sense. My goal is to become a Decision Scientist. This is a Data Scientist with advanced skills in human sciences such as psychology. With this skill set, they know how to make the right decisions in certain situations.
As for distractions, I really enjoy watching football matches. I’m a huge fan of Lionel MESSI. I also love movies and TV shows.
Tell me a little about your background and your studies.
After earning my high school diploma in mathematics and physics in 2019 with top honors, I pursued computer science studies at EPITECH Cotonou, the first campus opened by the school EPITECH in Africa. Between 2019 and 2022, I acquired both technical skills (programming, mathematics, etc.) and socio-professional skills (project management, teamwork, etc.). This period was also marked by several professional experiences in software development and artificial intelligence.
At the end of my Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology, which I earned in 2022, I landed my first one-year fixed-term contract as a software developer specializing in data analysis. But becoming an engineer had always been a dream of mine. So, after about nine months, I decided to leave my contract (with the manager’s approval) and start engineering studies. Since September 2023, I have been enrolled in the engineering program at ECE Paris. The goal, of course, is to earn an engineering degree (majoring in Data & AI) in 2025 and aim for a PhD by 2028.
How did you know you wanted to be a Decision Scientist?
My love of mathematics was the driving force behind this choice. In addition, I have always had a particular interest in everything related to products (customer acquisition, advertising, etc.). So it was only natural that I decided to pursue this career.
In the long term, I would also like to move into roles such as Product Analytics Lead or Data Science Manager.
Why did you choose to work at Meanwhile Boutique?
Meanwhile Boutique was an obvious choice for my career path. Up until now, my professional experiences had been quite technical, focusing more on programming and statistics. At Meanwhile Boutique, I hope to acquire a “product” and, above all, an entrepreneurial dimension that is truly essential for achieving my dreams.
What is your role / what are your responsibilities at Meanwhile Boutique?
At Meanwhile Boutique, I am a Copywriting Intern.
My responsibilities include tasks such as:
- Writing articles about responsible consumption and a sustainable lifestyle
- Keyword and source research
- Presenting collections, products, and current news
- Writing SEO product descriptions for new items on Meanwhile Boutique
What is your favorite topic?
I am very comfortable with anything related to computer programming in general.
What is your favorite social network?
My favorite social network is Twitter, but I also really like LinkedIn and YouTube.
Which value from the Meanwhile Boutique charter do you identify with most?
I have always had a preference for values related to the fight against waste. In my opinion, in terms of eco-responsibility, waste reduction is the concept that is most within everyone's reach. And speaking of waste reduction, recycling is the value I identify with (and many people do too!!).
What is your favorite brand / product at Meanwhile Boutique?
Speaking of fashion, I really love sneakers. Although I don't have a preference for any particular brand, the brand Zèta seems very good to me.
If you could make one wish for the planet, what would it be?
Ideally, it would produce natural resources endlessly, but to be realistic, I would wish for it to last as long as possible. And that is a goal that can be achieved if we, as human beings, adopt appropriate behaviors.
Thank you to Georges for his answers.
