Interests

Professional

Software development: enjoy coding/participating in projects.
Distributed/concurrent algorithms.
Large scale computing.
Dependable systems.
Computer security: keep an interest in news concerning security issues.
Computer languages: like to use mainstream languages (C/C++, Java, Python, Javascript, Go, ...), but also have an eye on emerging ones such that Scala, Kotlin, and Rust.

Other than the above points, I'm also having some activities out of work. Let's list some of them.

During 2008, I was a teaching assistant at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne for Computer Science I (students in chemistry) and Computer Science III (students in life science).

Fall 2008, I was a system administrator at routeRANK, a startup from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne. I was responsible for the infrastruture during the public launch.

From 2009 to 2010, I worked at the Swissquote Bank as a development engineer. There I worked on the feeds of financial instruments coming from various stock exchanges, on mathematical tools for the quantitative finance as well as on the infrastructure.

Fall 2018, I received the Excellence in Teaching Award of the School of Business and Engineering Vaud!

Projects

This project list will be extended. Some of the projects should become open source in the near future, as soon as my coding mates agree.
