About Me

I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Côte d'Azur University in Nice, where I conducted research at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) under the mentorship of Dr. Frédéric Giroire and Dr. Stéphane Pérennes.
Here is a photo from my PhD defense on June 26, 2019, and here is another taken almost exactly five years later on June 28, 2024.

Currently, I work as a Site Reliability Engineer at Google.
My technical expertise is centered on Python and C#. I apply a broad range of tools, languages, and frameworks to solve complex problems across both research and industry contexts.

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking, watching movies, and traveling with the ambitious goal of visiting every country on my travel map.

Projects

*
Distrinet
Distributed network emulator for the Cloud
Virtualized Software Defined Networks
Software-defined networking (SDN) has been attracting a growing attention in the networking research community in recent years. SDN is a new networking paradigm that decouples the control plane from the data plane.
