About me

I am a student in my second year in the computer science department at ENS Rennes, a highly selective institution that trains students for careers in higher education and research. I am interested in computer science and technology, and more specifically in computer science and low-level programming, embedded systems, programming languages (compilers, interpreters, virtual machines), operating systems.
My CV is available here.

Me and Computer Science

My affinity with computer science began in middle school with the software Scratch, where I became aware of the immense possibilities available to the programmer.
But it was especially when I entered high school that my interest in computer science really began to grow when I received a graphing calculator.
I then undertook to program everything that was programmable on this device, resulting in an endless list of contributions to the library of games/programs usable on the TI-83 Premium CE Edition Python calculator.
The forum TI-Planet, the leading French community around calculators, particularly helped me progress in computer science and develop my projects. Today an active member of this community, I still develop software for calculators, and I help in turn the users who need it.
