I'm an activist, an R&D Engineer by trade, working on CryptPad. A collaborative, private (end-to-end encrypted), free & open-source office suite.
I have a strong interest in ethics (beware, not in the corporate meaning) and pragmatism. Hence, I value simplicity over complexity. I also prefer fairness over equality.
I design systems that empower people, rather than making them dependent from for-profit companies. Allowing autonomy through accessible user interfaces and great user experience. Only possible after learning the persons needs, using qualitative user research. I also love writing and maintaining documentation databases.
I'm involved in projects aiming to improve health and living conditions for marginalized people. I propose a multidisciplinary approach, backed by academic studies in humanities (sociology, philosophy & history), professional experiences in arts (cinema, music), computer sciences (system administration, teaching) & practical works as a carpenter, mason, car/truck mechanic & farmer.
I translate important texts in French on my blog, and also write about a few other things. I enjoy walking outside, taking pictures. When my health condition allows it, riding a mountain bike, skiing, hiking or Muay Thai boxing. But you'll usually find me cooking food, listening to music or watching movies, spending as much time as possible with friends and/or my partner.
