About Me

I am a software engineer with specialties in system and network programming. I have a background in computer science and engineering, and I have a strong interest in the low-tech movement. I am currently working as a post-doctoral researcher at CNRS in Nice Sophia Antipolis.

I am currently working on a research on sustainability and sufficiency for the IT infrastructure.

Here are a few technologies I've been working with recently:
  • WebRTC
  • Node / Deno
  • Virtual Machines
  • QUIC
  • Docker
  • C/C++/Rust/Typescript

Education

2021 - 2025
PhD in computer science : System and Network performances for WebRTC
Université cÎte d'Azur, Sophia Antipolis

Main topics :

  • Study the portability of WebRTC on the QUIC protocol, specially the interactions between their congestion controller (see the publication)
  • Reclaiming the unused memory from virtual machines using generic and non intrusive techniques for the guest OS while maintaining the quality of service for a real-time application (see the publication).
2015 - 2020
