About me (resume)
I work as Agent Production Team Lead at H Company, Head of LLM and Gen AI at Tiime and I am a Board member of Afer, a life-insurance association of 800,000 people handling €60bn of investments. I also created Secrecy.tech, an encrypted cloud platform for developers, and am an adjunct professor at Sciences Po.
I also study orchestral conducting and regularly give piano concerts.
Finally, I enjoy doing research – I am a PhD candidate in Financial Economics and work on ML research with Rob Tibshirani (Stanford) – and writing open source code on github.
Previously, I finished high school at 15, then studied mathematics and computer science at École polytechnique and ETH Zurich. I also was a competitive programmer who participated in ICPC, the most prestigious programming contest in the world. My team became Southwestern Europe champion and gold medalist and achieved France’s all-time record at the ICPC World Finals.
