About the Reviewer

Thibaut Gensollen is a 25-year-old French guy born in Bordeaux, passionate about the computer sciences and, especially, web development. He got a master's degree of science in electrical engineering and computer sciences from École Normale Supérieure, Cachan, with a major in machine learning. During his studies, Thibaut got some research experience at UC Berkeley and University of Michigan, and he also worked at Orange, San Francisco, and Deloitte, Paris, where he started learning Polymer.

Thibaut's passion for the Web started at the age of 12, when he designed and coded websites for people. Since then, he never stopped designing and coding websites, mobile applications, or databases. Thibaut was the co-founder of a designing community, graphistes-world, which was one of the best French communities at the time.

With time, he learned more and more about lots of fields, such as SEO, backends, functional programing, machine learning, and more. Thibaut is now really enthusiastic about all of these new upcoming technologies, such as Polymer.

He is currently thinking about doing a PhD in deep learning, and he is the C.T.O. of a mobile application called CHOOSE, which has thousands of daily active users, using libraries such as Polymer, Ionic, and AngularJS.
