Romain Failliot

If you are on the page, it probably means you want to know more about my little person. So I'm going to introduce myself like it should be done; it's going to look strangely like a resume, yes indeed! It's also the purpose of this page :)

In order to protect my personal informations, I prefer not to divulge them widely on the site. Nevertheless, please feel free to contact me:
