About

I am a PhD student at the University of Geneva under the supervision of Prof. François Fleuret. My research is funded by Meta.

Previously, I completed my MSc in Robotics, Systems and Control at ETH Zurich. I am grateful to the ETH Foundation for funding my studies through the ESOP Fellowship. I did my master thesis at the Robotic Systems Lab, working on Safe Reinforcement Learning of end-to-end navigation policies for wheeled-legged robots.

During my studies, I have interned as a Software Engineer at NVIDIA’s AV team, working on sensor calibration and virtual environments. I also did a Research Engineering Internship at Sony R&D Center, working on small ViTs for event cameras in automotive applications.

In my free time, I enjoy learning to play the guitar, cooking and weight-lifting.

Your own private VPN

In the past, I often used to remotely connect to my desktop computer at home to perform intensive tasks such as compiling programs or doing ML workloads. To achieve this, I simply opened the router port and had a free reverse DNS service that would automatically bind my home’s current IP to a domain name. It was a simple solution and it worked quite well.

Today, while working on my master thesis, I find myself in a slightly more complex scenario: I have my computer at home, as well as a workstation behind a university firewall, and I want to be able to work from my laptop when necessary or connect either workstation with one another. I thought of leveraging my VPS by hosting a VPN server there.

Thoughts on the Dvorak layout

During my senior year in my Bachelor’s, I was very interested in finding ways to take notes efficiently in real time while attending lectures or watching videos. My workflow was inspired by the blogs from Gilles Castel. After hours of customizing my dotfiles and getting used to the new workflow, I reached a point were no more snippets or hotkeys would make me faster: my bottleneck was my typing speed.

I never learnt how to properly type on a computer, even though I spend most part of the day working on one. Moreover, when trying to type at ‘high’ speeds, I had sore hands and could not maintain the typing speed for long. My thinking speed was faster than my typing speed, and this was really annoying me.
