About
I'm a guy who likes programming, weight-lifting, fantasy, crypto, and other nerdy stuff.
Quick work history:
- I obtained a PhD in computer science from the Université Catholique
de Louvain in 2019.
- Until 2021, I worked for Oracle Labs on TruffleRuby, the fastest Ruby implementation then & now.
- In 2021 & 2022, I taught a compiler class.
- Until early 2023, I worked for Optimism, where I was part of the team that built the OP Stack, most of the specs
if which I wrote. It now secures upwards of 17 billions in value, as well as hundreds of millions
in transacted volume every single day.
- In 2024-2025, I ran my own startup. We built a gaming chain called HappyChain, which I had to shut it down for lack
of investment, but we built a state of the art wallet and account abstraction stack over the span of one year.
