I build robots that see, plan and act.
MSc Robotics from Heriot-Watt, now a teaching assistant at Epitech. I build software and hardware for an open-source humanoid, did my thesis on active SLAM for underwater inspection, and train imitation-learning policies on a desktop arm.

About
I grew up in a small village in the French Alps and came to robots through software: C and assembly at Epitech, then an MSc in Robotics at Heriot-Watt, where my thesis was on active SLAM for underwater robots. I'm now a teaching assistant at Epitech Paris, helping 5th-year students with their ROS 2 and robot-learning projects.
I've written software for a humanoid, a simulated underwater ROV, 3D-printed arms and competition robots. What I enjoy most is ending up with something real that moves on its own, and nothing beats testing it in real conditions. On a team, I'm usually the one between the hardware and software people.
Outside robotics I play piano, ski and go to the mountains.
