I'm a software engineer based in Paris. I mentor developers at Epitech and build Lucy, an open-source framework that makes robots simpler to use.
I'm completing a Master's degree in computer science at Epitech, after an exchange year at Chung-Ang University in Seoul. I enjoy low-level programming, object-oriented design, web development and robotics, and I'm always looking for the next thing to learn.

Pedagogical mentor · Epitech International, Paris 2026 – Present I mentor international exchange students and MSc 1 & 2 students throughout their projects: code reviews, project defenses and one-to-one follow-up. The goal is to make them autonomous in solving the problems they face. 150+ exchange students · 25 nationalities |
Co-founder & product manager · Lucy-Robotics 2024 – Present With Lucy-Robotics, we build Lucy, an open-source framework that makes robots simpler to use, whatever the robot. I work on the ROS 2 architecture, lead the engineering teams and own the product roadmap. 2 robots supported · 100% open source |
One platform // Any robot
Lucy is an open-source robotics framework. Its core runs all the ROS 2 logic and installs in a few commands on macOS, Windows or Linux, without Docker. Robots plug in on one side, control interfaces on the other.
