About Me

I’m a Site Reliability Engineer at Google in Dublin, working on host networking.

I hold a PhD in Computer Science from Université Côte d'Azur in Nice, where I conducted research at the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (Inria) supervised by Dr. Frédéric Giroire and Dr. Stéphane Pérennes.

Here is a photo from my PhD defense on June 26, 2019, and another from five years later, almost to the day, on June 28, 2024.

Outside of work, I'm passionate about fitness and travel, and I enjoy spending time outdoors walking my dog.
