Education

On the shores of Lake Geneva, I have graduated from the Swiss Federal Institutes of Technology in Lausanne ( EPFL ).

During my studies, I was a teaching assistant for the courses of "Graph Theory", "Signal Processing for communication" and "Computer Network".

It is by forging that one becomes a blacksmith

About me

Proud father of a daughter born in 2022. If I don't have a rugby game during the weekend, I am probably rock climbing, or running. Because I am hyperactive, sport is essential for me to be able to work efficiently. Oh, by the way, sometimes I paint during work meeting to busy my hands to focus too. Here is some random pictures I took.


What about the blacksmith theme? When I was a child, I dreamed of becoming a blacksmith. In my backyard, alone, I was hitting piece of bright yellow-orange wrought iron to create beautiful shapes. Today, behind my screen, I am hitting the keys of my computer to bend line of codes to create beautiful interfaces. I became a websmith.
