About
I grew up in Grenoble, hiking in the Alps, skiing, and playing soccer with friends. I studied computer science in Switzerland and spent a year on exchange in Hong Kong before moving to the USA — my fourth country.
I'm a software engineer at Parafin in San Francisco, where I build the data and ML platform and focus on underwriting infrastructure that supports millions of small businesses. My focus is end-to-end delivery: collecting and modeling data, shipping pipelines, and putting ML into production when it creates real product value.
Alongside work, I love building general software projects that are polished, fast, and fun to use.
