Lead the speakeasy initiative - the design of a language and system that make it easy to write privacy-preserving software across paradigms. - Internal developers use these systems to write machine learning algorithms, both novel (programs that couldn't be written before) and quicker (10x fewer lines of code)- Customers enhance their pipelines with these programs.- Presented work at Scalacon 2021

Design and implementation of DSLs for multi-party computation. Presented work at Scala Days 2020.

Supervisor : Tiark RompfDesigned and implemented a parser combinator library with performance close to hand-written parsers in C. Published findings at OOPSLA 2014.

Supervisors : Heinz Stockinger, Aurélien GrosdidierWorked on various software and web application projects with the Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.Accomplishments● Full re-design and development of Expasy, one of the main bioinformatics resources forproteomics in the world.● Publication in the Nucleic Acids Research journal about the platform.

Supervisors : Michael Jaeger, Gerald KaeferWorked on a cloud-computing related Master’s thesis: “Achieving application symmetry betweenon-premises and cloud platforms”. This project resulted in guidelines for adopting the cloud forcurrent/future projects.Accomplishments● Publication at CLOSER 2010

Conceptualised, developed and maintained an interactive website for Jazz sur la Plage, a free open-air summer festival in Geneva. This has brought Jazz sur la Plage to the forefront of the festival scene in Geneva.

Developed PHP/MySQL based Web 2.0 for the etudiants.ch website, a popular portal for students in Switzerland.

- Helped in the construction of muon detectors for the LHC project.- Developed a Flash animation on how muon detectors work. The animation was used for an exhibit in the CERN museum.
