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.

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.
