I am a Technical Leader at Cisco Meraki, working on the MX Security appliance.
Before that, I completed my PhD degree in Computer Networking, which I pursued jointly between École Polytechnique's networking team and Cisco Systems PIRL, under supervision of Thomas Clausen and Mark Townsley.
My research interests are mainly data-center networks, load-balancing, reliable multicast, IPv6-centric protocols and high-performance networking stacks.
Before starting my PhD, I obtained an MSc in Advanced Computing from Imperial College London in 2015, and a Diplôme d'Ingénieur from École Polytechnique in 2014.
