About
👋 I'm Julien. I build software. Previously built a web browser (YC W18) that competed with Google Chrome. As one does in their twenties, right? Turns out, it is very hard. We open-sourced it as a farewell gift to the Internet. Before that I traveled to 42 countries to scout tech startups. My wife and dog believe it was a cover for French intelligence. I neither confirm nor deny.
