About

Engineer in training,
networks and telecommunications.

I run a self-hosted infrastructure day to day on a NAS and a Raspberry Pi: Docker, TLS reverse proxy, VPN, DNS resolver. It has been in production since 2026, and that is where I learn the most.

Two assignments at the DGA, the French defence procurement agency: a shop-floor internship, then a fixed-term project role. Both showed me what compliance actually demands on a defence site. I also chair Genius UTT, where I organised TEDxUTTroyes 2026 in front of 400 people.

Self-hosted homelab

A 10-container Docker infrastructure self-hosted on a NAS and a Raspberry Pi, designed then run in production: service publishing, internal DNS resolution, encrypted remote access.

  • Secure accessCaddy reverse proxy and remote access over an encrypted VPN tunnel. A single entry point, with no service exposed directly.
  • Personal media librarySelf-hosted Jellyfin server for a personal collection: metadata, hardware transcoding, playback across devices.
  • Private DNSInternal resolver for the whole network, filtering at the source and encrypted outbound queries.
  • OperationsIsolated containers, key-based administration. Hardware monitoring and long-term upkeep.

ASTRA - Experimental rocket

An experimental rocket built for the C'Space campaign of July 2027, run by the CNES and Planète Sciences. The project is carried by a UTT student association co-founded for it.

  • Airframe and flightDesigning the rocket and testing its trajectory in simulation. Work on shape and mass to keep the flight stable and reach the target altitude.
  • Flight electronicsBuilding the circuits and the onboard scientific experiment. Recording measurements during flight and sending the data live to the ground.
  • RecoveryAutomatic parachute deployment at the highest point of the flight. The system is what brings the rocket down gently and gets the flight validated.
  • Team and milestonesOrganising a team of five engineering students, managing partners and preparing the official validation stages.
