Building software is fun

That's why I usually build most random ideas that cross my mind.

I like building things I can use, or my friends can use. Here's a selection of things I actually "finished"; they range from 1 weekend experimentations to startups. I'm always happy to chat :) hit me up!

Baselime
Cloud observability made for developers

Developers are on the front-lines dealing with errors and performance issues every day, but they are not equiped with the right tooling: “logs, metrics and traces” are not enough. You need 3 core concepts:

  • High cardinality and dimensionality
  • OpenTelemetry
  • Great Developer Experience

I started Baselime to solve this problem.

It was a wild ride, building a team, bringing our vision to the world and enabling developers worldwide to solve issues before they become problems.

Baselime has now joined Cloudflare.

A bookmarks manager for teams, entirely built with serverless

I’m a tab hoarder. This project is an attempt to solve this problem: a fully serverless application to store all my tabs such that I finally close them. I added a bunch of quality of life features over the months and turned this into a SaaS.

It was mostly a learning experience for me. I explored how to build a completely serverless application: compute, database, storage, queues, webhooks, etc.

Remote listening parties powered by Spotify

Music was one of the only ways to connect with family and friends during the first weeks of lockdown. So I built a small app to listen to music with loved ones synchronously.

Lyrically
A tiny website to get the lyrics of the song you're listening on Spotify, live. No search, no tracking, no ads.

I listen to a lot of french rap, and I need the lyrics, fast.

I uses the Genius API to get the song lyrics and it continuously polls the Spotify API to get the current song.

UK General Elections Data Viz
Visualisation of the results of the UK General Elections

I wanted to dig deeper into the results of the 2017 United Kingdom general election, so I built this front-end application to visually present:

  • election results
  • lost constituencies
  • gender representation
  • turnout
  • majority

This project was mostly a pretext to play with d3.js

Flight Dynamics Modelling and System Identification of a Light Fixed Wing UAV (Masters Thesis)
Instrumentation, flight dynamics modelling, flight testing, and system identification of a fixed wing Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

For my MSc Aerospace Dynamics thesis, I modified a low-cost commercial fixed wing UAV to instrument it with various sensors such as a pitot tube, an inertial measurement unit, and an air-ground data link.

The instrumentation enabled me to flight test the aircraft and to capture data in various flight conditions.

I used the data to build and validate 2 models of the aircraft:

This was a lot of fun with Matlab :)
