• Tracker server migration to a distributed, dynamically scalable and elastic architecture

Technologies: WebRTC, NodeJS, JavaScript, Docker, OAuth2

University of Bordeaux, CNRS, LaBRI

PhD in Computer Science

I worked on a privacy-preserving edge-assisted video content delivery system.

• Agile development: continuous integration, DevOps (Docker and Kubernetes), microservices, many scripts (test, deployment and setup)
• I developed an HTTP proxy inside an SGX enclave (C/C++) to encrypt and anonymize all requests
• Fake content queries are performed, both to fool attackers and to improve the system health by replicating content among peers

Technologies: C/C++, Python, Docker, SGX, Bash, Java, JavaScript, NodeJS

Bordeaux INP

Graduate Teaching Assistant

I taught various modules as part of my PhD:

• Network Programming
• Distributed applications, webservices and API
• Cloud Computing
• Advanced projects

Technologies: C, Python, Docker, Sockets, Bash, JavaScript, NodeJS, Go, Swagger, etc.

University of Bordeaux, CNRS, LaBRI

Research Engineer (internship)

I designed and developed MUSLIN, a dynamic server provisioning and content delivery system for multiple-source live streaming.

• I created, implemented and deployed a ranking-based server provisioning and advertizing algorithm
• The streaming system achieves higher end-user Quality of Experience and fairness than currently widespread systems
• Dynamic provisioning based on feedbacks and network status monitoring allowed up to 18% less servers required compared to traditional approaches

Technologies: Java (Spring), Docker, Python, JavaScript, Salt

Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC, Australia

R&D Engineer (internship)

I optimized and implemented an image recognition algorithm in two mobile applications (Android and iOS) for a major Australian company.

• Agile methodology: regular meetings with the client, code reviews, demonstrations
• I rewrote the algorithm in Java and Swift and used native language features to further improve performance
• The first match success rate increased fivefold, and execution time divided by 100

Technologies: Java (Android), Swift (iOS), Android studio, Xcode, MATLAB, Python

Orange, UIMP, Toulouse

Engineer (internship)

I helped maintain Orange network facilities (formerly France Telecom).
