About Me

I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Côte d'Azur University in Nice, where I conducted research at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) under the mentorship of Dr. Frédéric Giroire and Dr. Stéphane Pérennes.
Here is a photo from my PhD defense on June 26, 2019, and here is another taken almost exactly five years later on June 28, 2024.

Currently, I work as a Site Reliability Engineer at Google.
My technical expertise centers on Python and C#, and I enjoy applying a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks to solve complex engineering challenges across both research and industry.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about fitness and travel, and I enjoy spending time outdoors walking my dog.
