🧪 Applied Scientist at Mistral (CV). Ex: DevX and tooling at Meta, web perf and tech lead at startups and consultancies.
Research interests are in the applied interpretability and post-training. Eager to explore why models are the way they are for control and performance gains.

🎉 Fun facts: lived in a recording studio in an ex-bomb shelter (and even owned a tiny part of it), have three tattoos quoting Dostoevsky in one way or another, always follow the irrational urge to put a piano in every place I call home.
