About me
I graduated from Polytechnique Montreal in 2015 with a degree in engineering physics. I have ten years of experience as a sensor integration specialist. Concretely, I help sensors translate the analog world into digital information that people can interpret.
I did my master’s in biomedical engineering using hyperspectral imaging to depict the molecular signature of tissue using scientific cameras, lasers, and spectroscopy. I developed a good research background during those years by contributing to peer-reviewed papers.
I have worked in the autonomous driving industry for seven years, integrating sensor hardware and software on several vehicles. My primary role was to provide the perception team with reliable sensor data aggregation (camera, lidar, radar, GNSS, IMU). I also work closely with image signal processing (ISP), which converts raw images into RGB images for image quality and computer vision applications.
Since last year, I have been working at Rtings.com. My main focus has been on developing new tests to better evaluate the motion and image quality of the displays.
In my free time, I love cycling and exploring the world on my bike; I have visited seven countries so far. I ride five bikes regularly and maintain them myself in my workshop. I also like developing innovative applications, reading, and vulgarizing scientific subjects through small articles. Other interests include reading, cats (I have three), coffee, and music.
