Jean-René Auger
Our Founder
Appwapp has been around for more than 10 years, and in the digital world, that makes us ancestors!
One of our secrets is our founder who is very technical by nature and who breathes digital!
Appwapp is Jean-René’s vision of the digital world and therefore positions us as a reference in the field.
One week, JR had so many meetings he was barely in the office so we created a placeholder to keep his presence with us.
At 43, he has over 30 years of development experience. Yes, for real, he was coding in the pre-public era of the internet. At age 15, he was offered his first job as a developer, which he had to turn down due to the conflict of having a full-time job while still in high school.
