My training

I have a degree in computer science, specializing in software development, particularly in systems programming and scientific computing.

I completed AI training, offered by the CNRS (Fidle 2022-2023, French scientific research center), designed for scientists and engineers. Since then, I have been following the evolution of scientific research in this field.

I am committed to improving the ecosystem surrounding C++, raising awareness of ISO standardization work and new development practices.

I have worked on the challenges related to adapting and industrializing AI. My strong technical understanding allows me to raise public awareness of the practical realities of its use, beyond the marketing rhetoric aimed at boosting the stock market value of the tech giants developing it.

My convictions

I am committed to promoting free software, raising awareness of the issues surrounding digital sovereignty, data privacy, and cybersecurity.

I believe we need software that serves our interests, puts us in control of our destiny, and guarantees our privacy. On a small scale, I dedicate my free time to this.

Moving forward

My work fascinates me, but I am also fascinated by our world, and by ourselves. I am passionate about economics, the challenges of democracy, geopolitics, entrepreneurship, science, and art. I am as fascinated by the evolution of life and the formation of our Universe as I am by the way in which this group of individuals, Humanity, imagines, as best it can, solutions to move forward.

When we share the same space, moving forward means recognizing that our destinies are all intertwined. I therefore believe in the necessity of cultural exchange and the democratization of access to a neutral internet.

Michel Serres, philosopher and historian of science, identified four major technological revolutions: spoken language, writing, printing, and computing. According to him, these developments in information media have profoundly transformed our relationship with the world, our way of thinking and communicating, marking major cultural and cognitive shifts. I recommend his presentation at INRIA in 2007 (FR) on ​​this subject.

I strongly believe in his analysis and would add that the Internet plays a central role in this fourth revolution. Because these four technological milestones are revolutions based on the exponential sharing of knowledge. What distinguishes humankind from other species is its capacity to accumulate knowledge by transmitting it from generation to generation.

Therefore, if moving forward means facilitating our exchanges and our means of transmitting knowledge, then AI is now seen as becoming this fifth revolution, reducing language barriers and further democratizing universal access to this knowledge. But if we want its democratization and neutrality, if we want it to serve the interests of all of us, then we must not leave it in the hands of a few. There is a general interest at stake here, and when there is a general interest, free software is never far away.
