Hello there 👋 ! I am a 🇫🇷 French passionate coder on GitHub (also Bitbucket & GitLab!), and I love teaching! I've been a big fan of 🐍 Python since 2011, and I love 🐫 OCaml and Bash as my favorite programming languages! Daily Bash user since 2011 too!

I am now a full-time professor of Computer Science in Classes Préparatoires (in MP2I) from September 2021, in Lycée Kléber in Strasbourg. I teach computer science at baccalauréat +1 level, for one class of 48 students aged between 17 and 19 y-o, and I LOVE THIS JOB.

In 2019/20 and 2020/21, I was a junior professor in Computer Science (and Mathematics) at ENS de Rennes in France.

Before that, I pursued a Ph.D (phd.pdf) in telecommunications, applied mathematics, machine learning and computer science (yes, all that), at the engineering school CentraleSupélec in Rennes and at Inria in Lille since 2016 to 2019, and I graduated in November 2019. I wrote research articles, with a dozen publications in various national and international conferences and two journals articles, and research software. I continued doing some research after my PhD defense, but I had to stop completely in 2021.

Outside of computer science and teaching, I love biking & hiking, traveling by hitch-hiking and cooking (I'm pro vegetarian!), fighting against the climate crisis and polluters, on a daily basis, on both personal associative and political levels, etc. 🏠 I live in Briançon during holidays and in Strasbourg otherwise. I'm a strong believer in the importance of 💚 ecology, and especially reducing waste at a personal level and local and national political actions. Bien sûr, I like video games, science fiction and fantasy! 🚀 I used to write a lot on my blog.

I'm a big fan of Magic: the Gathering, and long-time green/white Timmy player! I'm now an official Magic judge (Level L1). Pauper, Modern or EDH, and sealed and cube (limited) are my favorite formats! I play regularly at this awesome place in Briançon where we organize monthly drafts, and I play weekly at Vent Divin and Baraka Jeux in Strasbourg! (some of my deck lists are here on GitHub or here on Moxfield).

💻 I work on Dell and HP laptops, using XUbuntu 22.04+, coding on VSCode, 🎵 listening to music with gmusicbrowser (and this). Since 2012, I write a lot of tiny CLI scripts, and build my website using sphinx. 📝 I love mathematics, I teach a bit of maths on a weekly basis. I studied a lot of maths in my twenties, and I got the French national competitive exam for teaching ("agrégation") in 2014. Since then I've helped writing a very good maths book for Agrégation and license/master level maths (in 🇫🇷 French), and this other one. 🤣 I'm a big fan of memes, various TV shows, movies and video-games.
