I am currently a senior software engineer in the Openshift SDN team at Red Hat.
I was previously (2016-2021) an R&D engineer and software architect at Ekinops in Sophia Antipolis, working on the company’s NFV solution.
From 2012 to 2016 I was a PhD candidate in the SigNet team at I3S/CNRS (Sophia Antipolis, France), under the supervision of Guillaume Urvoy-Keller (I3S/CNRS) and Chadi Barakat (Inria).
My PhD thesis focused on the inference of network neutrality violations at the access ISP. A summary of my work is available on this poster. My scholarship is funded by Labex.
My research interests include communication networks, network measurements, Internet neutrality and Internet tomography.
Here is my CV in English (updated) and French (outdated).
