I am an incoming PhD student at INRIA DataMove Team starting July 2025 working with Olivier Richard and co-advised by Christian Perez.

I ride a Trek Fuel EX 5 for fun and commute, and I daily-drive a Framework Laptop 13 with NixOS and a 14-inch MacBook Pro on the go. I own and operate AS10779 (PeeringDB, looking glass) with two IP assignments from ARIN. I maintain about 15 packages and actively contribute to the Nix ecosystem. During my free time, I enjoy swimming, cycling, archery, and playing osu! (mostly mania and std with Wacom Intuos Pro). Streaming services? Apple Music all the way (playlist)!
