+SUMMARY OF QUALIFICATIONS
+
+ - Experience in building software for diverse areas and platforms
+ in various programming languages such as C, Python, and Haskell.
+
+ - Passionate about applying scientific and engineering methods
+ while designing and building software systems.
+
+ - Using formal specification techniques to find specification-level

+WORK & RESEARCH EXPERIENCE
+
+ Savoir-faire Linux
+
+ fall 2020-present | Free Software Consultant
+ | Consultant en logiciel libre
+
+ I am part of the Jami core development team at Savoir-faire
+ Linux, where I get to work on various parts of Jami as a Free
+ Software Consultant. These include working on and maintaining
+ the GTK+-based jami-gnome client application written in C++ and
+ C, and packaging Jami for various GNU/Linux distributions and
+ other platforms. I also serve as a community liaison between
+ the Jami core team and the wider free software community around
+ Jami, with the goal of helping facilitate the communications and
+ relations between the two.
+
+ Free Software Foundation (FSF)
+
+ spring 2020 | Intern
+
+ Working with the FSF tech team in a sysadmin role on a variety
+ of tasks including installation of the Sourcehut free software
+ forge on the FSF infrastructure for evaluation for the FSF forge
+ project, as well as a series of enhancements for www.gnu.org.

+
+ Worked on an implementation of Lampsort in Eiffel.
+ Extended the mathmodels library, implementing a rational
+ class for working with arbitrarily large rational numbers.
+
+ summer 2016 | Research Student
+
+ Worked on Literate Unit-B, the verifier for Unit-B, a new formal
+ method focused on formal verification of reactive, concurrent
+ and distributed systems. From the Literate Unit-B codebase
+ (written in Haskell), decoupled the logic module and used it to
+ build Unit-B Web, a web interface using Literate Unit-B to do
+ predicate calculus proofs. Unit-B Web, also written in Haskell,
+ supports the LaTeX syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders user
+ input on the page, and calls the sequent prover of the logic
+ module, which uses the Z3 SMT solver to check the validity of
+ user input.
+
+ Separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser in a
+ large refactoring, allowing easier substitution of other type
+ checking algorithms, and in preparation for implementing
+ subtyping.
