Raft consensus written from the paper up: five layers, a purpose-built storage engine, a simulation test harness. Kill two nodes and watch the cluster recover.
At 11, a stray "View Source" pulled me in. I rebuilt Google Search in raw HTML and didn't stop. Lycée Louis-le-Grand (France's most selective high school), then years of classes préparatoires: pure mathematics, physics, and logic. The hardest years of my life, and the most formative. I kept building through all of it.
Multi-objective graph optimizer for air traffic networks, co-authored with a classmate under Jérôme Gärtner. The paper that opened the door to AWS.
I targeted AWS Dublin, prepped hard on LeetCode, studied Amazon's Leadership Principles, and Dublin said yes.
Built the JNI layer linking DynamoDB's new Rust client to its Java callers, closing the gap between two runtimes without serialization overhead.
I deferred my full-time offer and came back for more: one more internship, deeper inside DynamoDB's internals.
Rebuilt the monitoring system watching DynamoDB's metadata store, replacing fragile thresholds with automated canaries that could tell signal from noise.
Master's from ENSEA, two AWS internships behind me, a full-time offer on the table. I chose to come home to Paris instead. Three months of self-taught iOS later, I had the role.
Shipped an end-to-end Swift pipeline for AI-driven insights, building health software for the people I love.
From iOS in Paris to backend in Luxembourg: I rejoined Amazon full-time and stepped into an entirely different domain.
Enabled the Ireland expansion for Amazon's core third-party Pricing services, coordinating across seven teams to resolve blockers and ship the launch.
I wanted to build what I love, so I read Designing Data-Intensive Applications cover to cover and turned theory into code.
Built a crash-tolerant distributed lock on Raft in Go: every layer written from scratch, verified with simulated crashes, partitions, and restarts.
I joined Google as an SRE in Dublin, keeping the infrastructure behind Google's products reliable at a scale I'd only read about before.
A crash-tolerant distributed lock built on Raft, explained one layer at a time, from the consensus core out to the client.
