About Me

Software engineering student at EFREI Paris & Panthéon-Assas University, targeting a front-office quant developer role. I have a strong foundation in modern C++ and Python, and hands-on experience building tested, performance-minded systems and integrating banking and payment APIs.

I am comfortable across the full engineering lifecycle (architecture, unit testing, containerized deployment, CI/CD) and I care about writing code that is correct, maintainable and fast, and that stays close to the business logic. My latest project is a Black-Scholes options pricing engine in C++ with Python bindings.

Featured Project

Options Pricing Engine 📈 GitHub

A European options pricing engine in C++17, built to production-code standards. It has a Black-Scholes analytical pricer with full Greeks (Δ, Γ, ν, Θ, ρ) and a clean instrument / market data / model split. It is unit-tested with Catch2 (put-call parity, finite-difference validation of the Greeks, T→0 and σ→0 edge cases, NaN safety) and exposed to Python via pybind11.
