Why, hello there!
I'm happy to see that you came on my English homepage. Are you by any chance an English-speaking user, or did you just want to see if I could really speak in English, like advertised in several places of this website? Well either way, welcome!
Born in the very west of France, I travelled a lot, in my country, and in the whole world. That's the first thing I wanted to say, because it's, according to me, far more valuable than studies.
Of course, it doesn't mean I didn't study anything! I studied litterature, business... Then realised I was losing my time! That's why I forged myself alone. Whenever I asked someone to help me in one on my projects, I ended up doing everything myself, because people are often selfish. That's why I know how to code in html and css, with a little help of php or javascript sometimes. That's also why I have abilities in graphism. That's also why I can put subtitles on any video. I'm not going to prove a lot of things with diplomas, so this online portfolio should work better.
But you know, I've always been literary by vocation, and am as fluent in Molière's language than in Shakespeare's! My translation of the famous XIXth century best-seller Dog of Flanders (by Ouida) encountered a great success when it was released, and that should be proof enough. My favorite language remains my mother tongue, French. Nowadays, most French people don't even know how to properly speak or write in French. I'm specialized in baroque French-language, from the XVIIth century, so you can guess I'm far more than fluent in my own language!
Speaking of which, I intend to open my own publishing house, as soon as I have enough money. Then I'll publish some of my works, including a long essay about XVIIth century fables.
You can perfectly guess that, as anyone else, I need money to eat. So I had to complete my studies, and took a course about online business, about online researches, about SEO, about SEA, and all that sort of stuff.
Thanks to that invaluable experience, I opened Ma Fête Foraine, where I mainly sell arcade machines to professionals in France.
You'll find in these pages some of my works, as well as a complete report of what I can do. Of course, I sell my services, and I am very interested with every project I can work with: translation, text correction, redaction, I can also make websites with html and css. I can work with several cms, too, like Wordpress, Blogger, phpBB, Shopify, MediaWiki or Spip. Also I can do graphism (using mainly FireAlpaca, even though I can use Photoshop as well) and video subtitles. So, if you need my services, please send me an e-mail at frederic@rombeaut.com. I'll be more than happy to give you a quote, and to assist you every way I can!
