Following a Master's degree in Astrophysics at the University of Nice, I joined a private company in Belgium as an optical communication engineer working on the development of small satellites for geospatial intelligence. Then, I had several experiences in entrepreneurship and strategic advisory in the field of Aerospace & Defense in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Within a team of 4 members, I won the Hackathon organized by the Wallonia Parliament in 2021 about sustainable mobility in the framework of the conference on the future of Europe (https://www.parlement-wallonie.be/cloture-de-lhackathon-organise-dans-le-cadre-de-la-conference-sur-lavenir-de-leurope). Since September 2022, I moved to the south of France with a Talent Visa (available for 4 years, until 2027) to create an innovative economic project in the space sector. My project is called NeuronSat, and it is about the development of AI solutions for the Aerospace & Defense sector, with a focus on military and civil operations in extreme environments (deserts, seas, mountains, etc..). The 5th Cassini Hackathon topics fits to NeuronSat project scope, in particular the cross-terrain mobility of ground troops inside and outside Europe. I am also working as a Digital Systems Engineer at a private company in Sophia Antipolis.
