Apple CEO warmly congratulated the creator of CovidTracker and ViteMaDose apps
He was made a knight of the National Order of Merit “exceptionally” just a few days ago. Guillaume Rozier, the 25-year-old engineer who became famous for having created free anti-Covid 19 services on the internet, including VitemaDose, which makes it possible to find vaccination appointments, can now display another “recognition” to his coat of arms.
The young man received the honors of Tim Cook, CEO of Apple, during a video organized last Tuesday, by the Sunday Newspaper. “You have done an amazing job within a very short timeframe. It has benefited the entire community since you have effectively contributed to the fight against the pandemic ”, underlined the CEO in particular.
“I am neither a doctor nor a researcher,” retorted the young man. So I used my skills – IT and data science. To better understand a plague, it seemed imperative to me to accumulate as much data as possible ”, this“ Apple fan ”explained.
Besides mutual admiration, the two agreed on the need for respect and protection of privacy, and “compulsory teaching of the code for all students” – “the only language we all share,” according to Tim. Cook.
