Thanks to a crazy 1000 Monero anonymous donation I'll be working on the OurBigBook Project full time for one year: https://cirosantilli.com/sponsor Project updates at: https://mastodon.social/@ourbigbook

Mission: to live in a world where you can learn university-level mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology and engineering from perfect free open source books that anyone can write to get famous.How to get there: create a website that incentives learners (notably university students taking courses) to write freely licensed university-level natural science.

Paris Area, France

v1 attempt of ourbigbook.com, then called: https://github.com/booktree/booktree Adapt GitLab (Rails) as a web front-end for the creation of collaborative textbooks.Towards the end I understood that the idea/approach was crap, too much focus on Git integration/markup, where recommendation system/metrics were the key.And too much trying to upstream stuff.

United Kingdom

C, Assembly, Python scripting, Zephyr OS. Most of the effort went into understanding the Network Interface Cards to model it and help firmware development for board bringup. Worked on a SmartNIC and a HFT low-latency card. I also used Veloce emulator by Mentor Graphics, and looked a little bit into the Verilog which was fun.

United Kingdom

Interested in computationally intensive workloads and accelerators.Document a lot of undocumented infrastructure and improve automation.Work closely with the model users so that they can get their jobs done.Several improvements to the "boring" stuff that annoys everyone but no one wants/has time to fix: build system, debug mechanisms,...Reduced CI test.

Vibrant High Tech City

Learned a bit of hardware internals, GPGPU applications and Linux kernel on own initiative.Made the de-facto "new starter page" for the subdepartment out of my own initiative, covering a wide range of technical HOWTO subjects that were previously sparsely/insufficiently documented. Spent countless weekends trying to learn how stuff truly worked for.

Transatlantic Communications Cable

Work on an open source, mostly decentralized, video call/chat/conference software, focus on video codec hardware acceleration on Android app.The people in that company are simply a bunch of open source saints.This job taught me that anything lower level than the Java API in Android is a Hell, and that FOSDEM is heaven.My task was to do the video.

What Dreams Are Made Of

Develop a Java-based OLAP database engine and surrounding products, primarily for financial applications. Yes, the previous project not working out made me go _that_ low, all the way to finance. Luckily I still couldn't code back then and got fired. Nothing wrong with the company though, I really liked some other employees, I just sucked. Overly strong.

High School Diploma

The nice teachers there helped me get me into university. It's just a shame that school is a waste of time for everyone (not talking about.
