Born in the Auvergne region (France), and more specifically in the city of Clermont-Ferrand, I have lived and studied there until my high school graduation. In 2009, after getting my scientific baccalaureate diploma, I left Auvergne to join the post-baccalaureate curriculum in UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne), an engineering school in the Picardie region. There, I took generalist engineering prep classes for two years, followed by three years of Génie Informatique (Computer Engineering).

For my last semester of classes before the internship, I have been to Japan 6 months as a foreign exchange student in 2014. I had the chance to work at the CIT (Chiba Institute of Technology) in Chiba prefecture, near Tokyo. I've spent these few months in full immersion, and had the opportunity to work in a computer science lab at the CIT. My research and development work was in English with the lab professors and the Master students, but the rest of my daily life was in Japanese. I loved this experience and it allowed me to make huge progress in learning the language, way beyond the Japanese classes I already took back in UTC. There's nothing like total immersion!

I was already passionate about Japan at the time, and I still am: whether culturally, anthropologically or linguistically.

Once this semester was over, I left Compiègne and moved to Lyon for my one-semester end of studies internship at Worldline. After this intership, I got hired and then worked at Worldline from 2015 to 2019.

In March 2019, I left Worldline and joined Cosmo Tech, where I'm still working as of today!

As I said before, I have been passionate about Japan and its culture for several years. My interest goes beyond manga or video games and extends to all the aspects that make this country so different from our western world. I already travelled there twice, and I can't wait to go back!

Another passion holds a special place in my life: music. Being into music since I was 7 years old, I sang in a choir for 10 years, and studied solfeggio for approximately as many years. I also learned to play piano in music school for several years.

I've followed through singing as a hobby by starting to sing in bands during high school, and I kept at it during my university years. I also was vice-president of the Larsen association at my engineering school (handling of rehearsal rooms, equipment and registered bands). I've also learned ukulele by myself and have been learning to play guitar for a few years.

Today, I still like singing on a stage and share music with people: I often take part in open mic events and have been singing with my pop-rock band for several years now.

On a more classic note, I love video games and play a lot of them since childhood. I also like sports, as a well-being activity and for its important role in physical and mental balance.
