Running your own email is increasingly an artisanal choice, not a practical one

Might be a silly question, I own a domain that is my first initial + last name dot dev for my portfolio. What's a decent, or usual, prefix to use with such a domain as a personal email for job applications? Bonus point if it is English-French bilingual.

contact@ sounds off, like I'm a corporation. email@ or mail@ I kind of like, but I'm afraid it sounds "confusing" (is that in my head?). application@ or job@ is not bad, but a bit specific and not one I could use all around.

I use [email protected], and I am playing with the idea of different versions per language, Ja, watashi, moi, mig, and so on.

I always give out 'hello@' or 'hi@' on for general contacting

hello@ is pretty popular.

But when I give the mail directly to a given company, I use [email protected]. That lets me track how I'm contacted, and sometimes it starts interesting conversations.
