Who I Am
I was proudly born in Marseille, in the south of France, in 2003.
My new home is Auvergne, where I've been living for a few years now.
I am into arts, especially music (jazz and French folk), and cinema.
I am interested in oenology too, and I strongly believe in Châteaneuf-du-pape supremacy.
I enjoy some boardgames during the rare hours when I'm not busy, especially mahjong and tarot.
I am not much of a videogame person, but I sometimes happen to play ADOFAI or Mini Motorways
I use Manjaro btw ;)
My Cursus
I got my baccalauréat (A levels) with highest honour at
Emile Duclaux highschool,
within the "European Section", a demanding cursus with some classes in English.
I entered college and passed an bachelor's degree in IT at
Clermont-Ferrand University, ranking in the top 5%.
Currently, I am continuing my studies at
ISIMA
(Superior IT Institute, of Modelisation and their Applications), a computer science engineering school.
I have chosen "Optimisation and Artificial Intelligence" as a specialisation.
I was also able to join a special program that includes hours devoted to research in my timetable. I say more about it here.
Computer Science
My coursework has provided me with general skills in various areas of computer science.
Now I specialise in Data science, Optimisation and Artificial Intelligence.
In programming, I am primarily a Java enjoyer. I also often use Python for data science and artificial intelligence and MATLAB for computational work.
I am currently learning Julia, a language that I really love. and is perfect for the kind of projects that I like to do.
I also have groundings in C, C++ and OCaml.
I made this static page in html/css/js by hand, and I am used to WordPress website maintenance.
Philosophy
My passion for philosophy has really driven me since high school, when it was one of my majors.
I am mainly interesed in questions about identity, its theorical fundations and political applications.
The most important readings for me have been the continuum starting with Nietzsche, leading to thinkers of French Theory such as Foucault and Deleuze, and continuing with writers like Preciado today.
Given that the future seems to be AI-driven, data-obsessed societies, I think that reflections on notions such as subjectivity, free will, independence and ethics need to be taken into account more than ever when designing new technologies.
Music
It is the with the deepest pride that I inform you that I am the n°1 listener of Jean Ferrat on spotify.
Trivia aside, my love for music isn't limited to listening, but also includes playing!
I have been playing the bass guitar for six years, and currently, I am learning acoustic guitar to sing along around campfires.
I learned in the contemporary music department of the
Aurillac Conservatory of Music and Dance,
where I played in a band for four years.
Additionally, I attended the music summer camp
Rock the Casbah
in 2020. You can spot me (the bass player with a red shirt) on
this video :)
