About Me

I am a software engineer that currently works as a research engineer at INRIA - Lille (National Institut or Research in Science and Technology, France, Lille).

I am a PhD student working on memory profilers. I work at INRIA, France in the Evref team.

I was one of the main developers of the pharo-ai project contributing and building different libraries for machine learning algorithms, statistical metrics, data preprocessing, and AI in general.
At INRIA, I also worked for 5 months as a Moose engineer mostly developing tools for Moose IDE project.

I work full time on open source projects since the beginning of 2020. Before that, I have 1 year of experience working for web developing companies.
