    I am a software developer and researcher with half a decade of experience and a Master&#x27;s degree in mathematics. I have ample experience with Golang in a professional context often on backend services like REST APIs and programs interacting with databases and message queues, am fairly proficient with a variety of other languages and technologies, and am comfortable working on a variety of domains, from accounting&#x2F;financial management&#x2F;CRM software, to IaaS products, to scientific and mathematical software and language apps. I enjoy learning, and am always open to learning new things, especially if they happen to ignite my curiosity.

    I like free or open-source software, systems programming, web services and the infrastructure required to run them at scale and would love an opportunity to continue to contribute to and learn about them. I enjoy mathematics and quantitative research like biology, engineering and physics. I enjoy writing, and in particular writing documentation for software, educational content, and research.

    I am happiest working with people who are open-minded, conscientious and kind, and I try very hard to always embody those qualities.

    I am open to both full-time employment and contract work. I am a French citizen and can work freely anywhere within the EU.

    Compensation for in person work is location-dependent, and more expensive than full-remote work, due to the extra work involved (physical, moving things around in meatspace work, not just pushing bits around cyberspace). That said, I do really enjoy being in nice offices and hanging out with the team while working, and also really enjoy occasional &quot;team in-person meetups&quot; even when working in a full-remote context.
