About me

I am a graduate engineer from the Ecole Supérieure d’Ingénierie Léonard de Vinci, with an M2 in Creative Technology from the Institute for Future Technologies (IFT). My passion and expertise lie in Human-Computer Interfaces, focusing on Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual and Augmented Reality, and haptic technologies.

As a VR and Haptics Engineer at Actronika, I contributed to developing innovative haptic solutions, including demonstrators and custom client projects for the Skinetic haptic vest. My role strengthened my skills in user experience design, agile development, and client collaboration. Additionally, my leadership in the DavinciBot robotic club allowed me to manage complex robotics projects, such as the redesign of the InMoov humanoid robot and the creation of JASPER, a humanoid robot designed for heavy-load tasks and interactive capabilities.

These experiences, combined with academic projects like ExoTouch and ThermalSuit, have equipped me with a strong foundation in rapid prototyping, electronics integration, and immersive system design. I am driven by a desire to push the boundaries of human-machine interaction and look forward to contributing to transformative innovations.
