Passionate about software and technology, octopus lover, recipient of the Fritz Kutter Award 2019
I am a passionate woman fond of octopuses 🐙🐙
It took me a while to find my path, but as soon as I started programming, I knew it would define me for the rest of my life. I was involved in projects in many different domains, from quantum computing for particle physics to retail store interfaces.
I would define myself as a generalist, who wants to constantly switch technologies and face new challenges. When I am too bored after a day of work as a Software Engineer, I spend time working on personal projects, that are all available on GitHub.
Aside from my work, I love reading (especially time travel fiction, see my stats) and spending time with other passionate people. This love for sharing led me to co-found the GDG Fribourg, join multiple online communities (dev.to, StackOverflow), and start my own blog.
HEPQPR.Qallse is the first successful attempt at using a quantum annealer (D-Wave) for the reconstruction of charged particles at LHC. It led to a publication by Springer, and conferences in the USA, Japan, Spain, and France. My master thesis won an Award from the Fritz Kutter Fond (ETHZ).
This project took place in Berkeley, CA. It was a wonderful experience that taught me about physics, quantum computers, and myself.
BBData (short for Big Building Data) is a common platform for acquisition, storage, processing and sharing of smart building data. The main technologies include Hadoop, Spring Boot, Kafka, Cassandra, and Flink.
I was the lead developer and wrote two papers in collaboration with HEIA-FR and EPFL. The system is now in production and stores large volumes of data from sensors in Fribourg’s Smart Living Lab.
April 2023 - Present
Manage the entire Divio platform, from backend development (Python/Django) to cloud services (AWS, Azure, etc.), and everything in between. With a small team of fewer than 10 engineers, we handle it all!
Contribute to the platform powering all digital products. Broad tasks and responsibilities, including R&D, development & maintenance of robust and reusable components (Java/Kotlin, Spring Boot, gRPC, Kafka, ...), CI/CD (Jenkins, OpenShift, Helm), support & formation to other teams, SM (scrum master)/Team lead. I love the diversity and the wide array of challenges and opportunities it offers.
Work on a deep neural translation system to convert Swiss German to High German (NLP, machine learning, transformers). Creation of an open-source, generic web crawler used to collect the largest Swiss German corpus to date - SwissCrawl.
Lead developer on various projects, including BBData, a Big Data ecosystem for Smart Buildings (Hadoop), and Colimaçon, a transactional and managerial ecosystem for a Jewelry retail chain, both in production. Teaching, coaching.
The first application of a quantum annealer (D-Wave) to reconstruct the paths of charged particles at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Led to a publication by Springer and conferences in the USA, Japan, Spain, and France.
August 2012 - May 2015
Development of websites and WordPress plugins. Setup, maintenance, logos, and design.
This paper is a follow-up that presents the improvements made to BBData v2.0 and the choices behind it: review of some design choices, technology stack overhaul, profiles to better fit different needs, improved performances, thorough stress tests, open-sourcing of the code, and much more.
