Teaching Experience
| Year | Course | Language | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 - 2026 | Fundamental of Databases | French | Undergraduate in computer science. Consists in learning the fundamental of databases: data typing, query building using, databases management systems and relational models design. The teaching includes theoretical and practical sessions. |
| 2025 - 2025 | UNIX Systems Basics | French | Undergraduate in computer science. Consists in week-long internship that aims at catching up with fundamentals of UNIX systems, developers tools (text editors and git) and bash programming. |
| 2024 - 2025 | Data compression, detection and correction of errors | French | Undergraduate in mathematics and computer science. This subject covers the different detection and correction strategies used in transmission protocols, such as but not limited to Hamming coding. The last part of the subject covers the compression of data from a theoretical and practical point of view, including the Huffman algorithms and optimal coding. |
| 2024 - 2025 | Programming project | French | Undergraduate in computer science. This subject consists in the implementation of a simple board game for undergraduate students. They practice the use of object oriented programming, team work and standards tools for development such as git. |
| 2024 - 2026 | Coding and encoding | French | Undergraduate in mathematics and computer science. This subject covers various number representation, bases conversion, first order logic and algorithms, use of basis conversions in computer science and exhaustive study of data encoding. |
| 2021 - 2022 | Mentoring in computer science | French | Undergraduate in computer science. This teaching unit consists in providing specific and targeted help to first graders in computer science in algorithms, programming and understanding of data structures. |

Work Experience
Research project
During my master's degree I had the occasion of working for a research project named AFMPB. The goal of the project was to implement a workflow for testing dimer folding using AlphaFold2. The initial goal was to test a few dimer folding to see if the machine-learning based software could handle such cases. It had both technical and scientific challenges, that were rewarding to overcome. We managed to test 10 times more proteins than predicted by fully-automating the tasks requests to the machine and the data processing.
Bachelor Internship
Bachelor internship at INRIA in the RmoD Team (CRIStAL UMR 9189). I had the occasion of working on the language machine for Pharo, an object-message-sender based language, inherited from SmallTalk programming language. The goal of the 5 months internship was to optimize the execution of Pharo code by optimizing the pathway between Pharo's interpreter and compiler. Because Pharo has to be portable on small objects (watch, drones, or any IoT objects), the compiling had to me made in 4 different assembling language, making the use of abstract assembly mandatory. Optimizing the path between interpretation and compilation was challenging because the knowledge to acquire in software engineering was tremendous. It was overall a challenging but life changing experience, including in my career guidance.
Membership Coordinator
This position is a part time position for the European Student Union. It implies: Having direct contact with members all across European and beyond, Managing applications and different types of membership, Managing a political portfolio (quality assurance in education, digitalisation, ...), Travelling a lot
International Officer
This position included both tasks related to the national position, as well as thematic and policy related tasks. It was a one year full time position in Paris, for which I had a gap year between my first and second year of master's degree. National related tasks: Network coordination, strongly linked to the buddy system for member unions; Elective campaigns management; Conception, preparation and delivery of training sessions (both transversal and thematic related); Internal diplomacy and team management; Strong internal reporting and privacy management. Thematic related tasks: Board member at ESU (representing France); External representation (European parliament, European commission, national council for youth and peer learning); Policy building (Bologna process, Life Long Learning, Quality assurance and Qualification delivery related); Targeted help for member unions on international affairs
Student representative
I was a student representative for 4 years during two consecutive terms. Elective campaign (online and in-person) twice for the two terms. Student representative in different university councils: Training policy and student life council; Disciplinary council; Finance for student association, initiatives and solidarity council
