Built a benchmarking tool in Python to evaluate and compare AI models on code generation tasks; used automated simulation to score outputs and track pass rates across 3 providers
Developed a memory system that persists project context across sessions for a multi-agent AI coding assistant; covered with 29 automated tests
Refactored 9 AI agents to support swappable model backends (cloud and local); built setup automation and API key management so engineers could switch providers without touching config files
Benchmark output showing per-case results and error category coverage — gpt-4o-mini run on 7 RTL test cases

Collected household energy consumption data via 10+ Arduino-based sensors (C++) and parsed 120+ CSV profiles in Python for replay through a grid emulator, automating configuration across 30+ test scenarios
Built MQTT logging pipeline in Python to capture and timestamp real-time power meter data across week-long grid simulation sessions
Analyzed smart meter measurement accuracy across 30+ simulated load profiles; confirmed sub-1% power reading error against emulator setpoints
Lab photography wasn't permitted inside French national labs, so this is from a tour of the nearby European Synchrotron Radiation Facility.

May 2024 — Jul 2024
Fabricated flexible paper battery prototypes by hand-assembling graphite and zinc electrode layers; characterized output at 0.91V / 0.3 mA against reference targets of 1.2V / 0.5mA
Evaluated aerodynamic deployment shapes for water-landing sensor housings; validated paper seed geometry as optimal design through drop testing
Wrote C++ firmware for Arduino-based sensor system sampling water quality parameters (pH, turbidity) every 60 seconds and transmitting readings wirelessly to a monitoring interface
My first voltage reading off a paper battery I hand-fabricated — 0.468 V
