My PhD

DMX : Data Mule eXpress

Ephemeral communication backbones for data collection in wireless sensor networks

Aperçu du projet

My thesis focuses on optimizing data collection in the Internet of Things (IoT). Within the DMX project, I develop ephemeral network architectures capable of adapting to the movements of mobile collectors (such as drones or vehicles). By combining edge computing techniques and opportunistic communications, my goal is to make sensor networks smarter, more efficient, and more energy-efficient, even in complex environments.

My Projects

2026

k3s-personal-servers

A personal homelab platform built around k3s on a VPS, with GitOps-driven deployments via FluxCD.

This repository documents the full setup of the cluster and the services running on it, including:

FluxCD for GitOps-based cluster management
SOPS and age for encrypted Kubernetes secrets
Automated backup scripts for persistent volumes and application data
Applications such as Minecraft, n8n, Immich, this site, WireGuard, CrowdSec, and SonarQube

Personal-website-v2

Having realized that V1 of my site was becoming unnecessarily complex, I decided to start fresh by creating the V2 of this website that you are currently browsing.

This website is built with static HTML5 and CSS3 using the Astro Framework. This makes the site extremely lightweight and fast.

Some specifics of this version:

All site content is stored and managed in Markdown files.
It was also an opportunity for me to test and learn the Astro framework, which is very well-suited for content-focused sites.
I also migrated from Node.js to Bun for JS runtime management during development.

Personal-website-v1

My first big web project, the predecessor of this site. The goal was to learn and practice full-stack web development, so I chose the MERN stack (MongoDB Express React Node.js).

I designed:

The front-end in React
The back-end in Node.js with Express
The storage in a MongoDB database

I also added a file upload system with multer and a CRUD mechanism. Throughout this project, I learned a lot!
