I'm Magalie, a web developer.
I have been working as a developer for over 20 years. This year, I worked as a contractor in the Retail Experience team to develop an internal campaign planning application for McDonald's. Recently I managed and maintained all the Happy Meal websites in the world. Before that, I worked on the development of McDonald's Project "As Featured in".
