I hold a PhD delivered by Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in post-quantum cryptography and code-based cryptography, a Master in Mathematics focused on algebraic number theory, algebraic geometry and modular forms (specifically working on computing secret isogenies between ordinary abelian surfaces using quantum algorithms), and a Bachelor of Arts in Music.
Aside from that, I've been programming in many different languages such as:
- System: Python, C/C++, Java/Scala.
- Web: PHP/Typescript, HTML/CSS/SCSS.
- Black magic: Make, Bash, PARI/GP, TeX/LaTeX.
I am currently a maintainer of Sphinx and a member of the CPython triage team. My hobbies are music, video games, animes, JP/CN/KR novels and mangas.
