Lead Software Engineer, Platform & Data
Uptale, Paris
Nov 2020 to present
Uptale lets companies create, distribute and track 360° and virtual reality training at scale, and
raised 9 million euros in 2024
to accelerate. The product has three areas: Studio, where immersive experiences are authored, Playtime,
where they are played in headsets and browsers, and Platform, the SaaS backbone that ties everything
together. I joined shortly after my PhD, when Uptale was still an early-stage startup, and have grown
with it into a fast-scaling company: software engineer, then senior, and lead of the Platform & Data
team since 2026.
- Own the Platform & Data area end to end: accounts, integrations and analytics, from data model and API to the React and TypeScript front end.
- Own its backend and cloud infrastructure: ASP.NET Core services on Azure, provisioned and versioned with Terraform.
- Lead the team: technical direction, code reviews, mentoring and delivery planning.
- Go-to engineer beyond my team, contributing to architecture, infrastructure, reliability and security topics across the product.

PhD Researcher in Computer Science
FEMTO-ST Institute, CNRS, Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté
2017 to 2020
Research on distributed intelligence for programmable matter: how large ensembles of simple modular
micro-robots can coordinate to rearrange themselves into arbitrary 3D shapes, quickly.
- Designed scaffold-based self-reconfiguration algorithms that bring reconfiguration time down to O(∛N) for classes of shapes, with N the number of modules.
- Technical lead on VisibleSim, the C++ modular robot simulator used by several research teams worldwide.
- Five publications in international journals and conferences (AAMAS, IROS, RAS, SWEVO); thesis defended in October 2020.
- Taught and coordinated undergraduate courses in networking, security and operating systems.
