Building minimal systems at the intersection of physics, mathematics and intelligent machines.

About

Engineering student at l'École polytechnique de Bruxelles, specializing in applied physics and applied mathematics. Drawn to problems where fundamental science meets practical systems.

Currently focused on artificial intelligence and large language models, quantitative finance and trading systems and autonomous aerial robotics including FPV and unconventional drone architectures.

I build things that work with minimal complexity.

Areas of Work

AI / ML

  • Fine-tuning & inference of small LLMs (3–7B)
  • Retrieval-augmented generation systems
  • Computer vision pipelines (YOLO)
  • Model training, evaluation and deployment

Trading

  • Market structure & prediction systems
  • Algorithmic strategies and arbitrage
  • Backtesting and simulation (Python)

Engineering

  • FPV & autonomous drone systems (10+ years)
  • Flight stacks & RC systems (Betaflight, EdgeTX)
  • Physics-based modeling (nuclear, thermal)
  • Thermal sensing & signal interpretation
  • Systems programming (Python, Rust)

Vision

Some ideas I find worth exploring:

The convergence of physics-based simulation and learned models will redefine what we consider 'intelligence.' Systems that understand physical constraints from first principles, rather than pattern-matching from data, will outperform on edge cases that matter.

Markets are information systems. The edge isn't in more data—it's in faster, more accurate models of how information propagates and transforms into price.

Drones are underrated as platforms for autonomous systems research. Constrained compute, real-time requirements and unforgiving physics create ideal conditions for developing robust AI.

The future belongs to those who can build complete systems with minimal resources. Complexity is a liability. Simplicity that performs is the goal.
