Intro

Hello World! Welcome to my personal website.

I'm a Systems Software Engineer and a PhD in Distributed Systems; My R&D topics concern the design of highly-available cloud and edge storage systems, data replication and consistency protocols, and the implementation of the Linux Kernel. I made several Open Source contributions around these topics.

I teach Master and Licence Operating Systems lectures at Sorbonne University.

I'm also a tech enthusiast, knowledgeable about Blockchains and a track and field athlete.
