About

Currently a Systems Engineer at Stacksync (YC 24), where I work on distributed data infrastructure. I also co-founded and run Actualia, an AI-powered personalized newsroom. As an EPFL alumni, I care about building things that are both technically sound and genuinely useful, from low-level infrastructure to AI-driven products. Split between 🇨🇭 Lausanne, 🇫🇷 Paris, 🇺🇸 San Francisco, and whenever possible, 🌊 Brittany.

I've been lucky to work with incredible people on projects ranging from fun side experiments to complex deployments. Here are a few of my favorites.

Actualia

AI-powered mobile app that acts as your personalized newsroom. Curates, filters, and summarizes the news you care about, in text, audio, or story format, while keeping the option to dive deeper into full articles. Selected for the EPFL Blaze startup accelerator (2024 cohort) and winner of the Prix FIT de l'Innovation at the Blaze closing ceremony. Featured in PME Magazine.

EPFL Deepfake Booth

Led the technical implementation of EPFL's immersive deepfake awareness installation, developed with Quentin Bammey (IVRL) and the ICRC. The booth lets visitors experience deepfake technology firsthand to understand its risks. Deployed at events across Switzerland and Europe, including the European Humanitarian Forum and the AI for Good Summit.

RedBox

RedBox

Semester project at EPFL DCSL in partnership with the ICRC. RedBox is an open-source ecosystem into an integrated digital platform for health, coordination, and collaboration in humanitarian field operations.

Built automated, reproducible Debian-based node provisioning using Docker, Dokploy, NetBird, and Ansible, with optional Docker Swarm clustering across nodes within each ICRC center. Designed for local-first, offline-capable deployments with CIS-hardened security, targeting field operations in constrained and low-connectivity environments.

Deepfake Mirror

Interactive real-time deepfake installation deployed at the Swiss Pavilion of Expo 2025 Osaka. Two large screens transform visitors into Einstein and a whimsical version of Heidi, illustrating how easily images can be manipulated and making AI hallucinations tangible to a general audience. Selected by Presence Switzerland. Previously deployed at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Medical Triage Platform

Medical Triage Platform

Master semester project at EPFL DCSL (Edouard Bugnion's lab). Modular, secure digital platform for real-time medical triage and patient tracking at large-scale events. Deployed at Balélec Festival for 60+ medical staff and 120+ patients. Built with Docker, Traefik, Authentik SSO, PostgreSQL, Grafana, and MinIO on EPFL XaaS infrastructure with full GDPR compliance.

Multi-User Tracking System: eM+ Panorama+

Bachelor project at EPFL's Experimental Museology Laboratory (eM+). Enhanced the Panorama+, a 360° stereoscopic interactive visualization environment, with a multi-user tracking system designed for low-light conditions and group immersive experiences. Evaluated and integrated OptiTrack infrared motion capture and Azure Kinect markerless body tracking, including gesture recognition. Built real-time multi-node synchronization for Unreal Engine's nDisplay cluster. Co-authored with Alexandra Lagutova.

Swiss Glaciers 2100

Interactive infographic for EPFL's Dimensions magazine visualizing the melting of Swiss glaciers by 2100. Each glacier is represented as stalactites made of decade-by-decade surface area rectangles proportional to their surface area. Features rollover details with photos, geographic map, sortable data, and glacier search. Data source: GloGEM model (VAW-ETH Zurich), SSP2-4.5 scenario (+2.7° by 2100). Built in p5.js in partnership with Emphase design studio. Winner of a European Design Award.
