I'm a cotutelle Ph.D. student with the Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications department of the University of New South Wales and the Centre for Robotics of the Mines ParisTech (École des Mines de Paris). I'm currently working in Nicta's Networked Systems Theme under the supervision of Roksana Boreli. I'm also with Inria's project-team Imara, under the supervision of Thierry Ernst. My interests include Ambient Intelligence, and currently focus on hosts, networks and sessions mobility in pervasive networking environments.
I mostly waste my (little) spare time doing geeky stuff on various Unix machines. Some interesting byproducts of this may be a Makefile to compile LaTeX documents in one command (including cross-references, bibliography and index) or home-baked packages for various Linux distributions (ArchLinux, Gentoo, Nylon or Slackware). I also keep track of my experience in what I like to call my knowledge base and parts of a wiki.
I strongly believe openness (for either standards, source code or format) is a key to successful computer-based solutions and usually make it clear to people who dare venture on this slippery slope (e.g. I refuse to open an account on closed social networking systems, but I'm happily using FOAF for similar purposes). For the same reasons (amongst others), I also have a fondness for OpenBSD.
I'm also trying to pretend I'm playing the bass guitar. Some people suffer daily from all these hobbies (:
In a further attempt to advocate open systems, here is an aggregate of my recent online activity, fully based on open technologies and compliant platforms. The main goal is to show that there is no need for an account with any of the various closed social networking platforms and their notoriously fuzzy privacy policies. Also, this lets you see what I've done recently!
