Summary
Tal Zana is a multidisciplinary software engineer and creative technologist based in the Greater Paris area, blending 9 years of hands-on web and native development (JavaScript/React, Python, HTML/CSS, SQLite, bash/git) with a 20+ year career as a director, editor and music composer for film and television. He brings a storyteller’s sensibility to UI design and data processing, having written, directed, edited and scored award-shortlisted documentaries for major broadcasters like ARTE and France Télévisions. Self-taught and polyglot, Tal combines investigative camera work and teaching experience with a developer’s pragmatism—coding for pleasure while shipping usable tools and prototypes. Notably, he composes original scores available on SoundCloud and maintains a GitHub portfolio that reflects creative, side-project-driven engineering. His eclectic background means he approaches technical problems with cinematic composition and narrative-driven product intuition.
