About Me
Master's student in Applied Mathematics at Université Paris Dauphine - PSL, building on a Licence in Mathematics and Data Science from Sorbonne University.
Experience across statistical modeling, deep learning, high-performance computing, and algorithmic trading — research in genomics (HPC & statistics) and industry work on time-series foundation models.
Also active in LLM systems engineering — daily user of open-source agent frameworks (OpenClaw, Hermes Agent) to build productivity tools, self-hosted and managed on a personal VPS (leveraging my HPC/Linux background).
Awarded a Bronze Prize (€2,000) at Huawei's Tech Arena 2024, and ranked in the global top 1.7% (214th out of 12,620 teams) at the IMC Prosperity 3 Trading Challenge.
Currently seeking a work-study position within the Master in Statistical and Financial Engineering — in quantitative analysis, data science, risk modeling, or statistical research.
