Welcome! 👋

My name is Théo, and I am currently studying at ENSTA Paris, one of France's leading engineering schools. I am currently achieving a gap-year internship at the Laboratory of Mechanics Paris-Saclay (LMPS), working on the DREAM-ON structural health monitoring project. I've always been passionate about science and technology, and I aim to contribute to the creation of diverse and innovative projects. In my free time, I work on small projects and enjoy climbing, among other activities. Feel free to contact me for more information or just to chat!

Programming

I have had a passion for computing for a long time, and I create my own applications and websites since I'm twelve (2016) to put my ideas into practice without being dependent on others or inflexible tools. Since 2018, I publish some of them on Github to share my creations and open them to everyone's contribution. I have learnt OCaml and C in preparatory class, Javascript, Python, Ruby and Go by self-taught, and I use Jetbrains IDE on Linux.

Let's meet!
