🗣️ 2019-2020: Signal processing engineer with the Sonos Voice Experience Team (Paris), formerly Snips (acquired November 2019), working on far-field speech recognition and audio signal processing for smart speakers.


🔈 2015-2018: Masters and research assistant at Prof. Martin Vetterli’s lab (Switzerland) with Robin Scheibler, working on pyroomacoustics and developed a DSP lab module, which is now part of EPFL’s signal processing course on Coursera.

🧑‍🏫 I love teaching and event organizing, which I have done extensively with LauzHack which I co-founded in 2016. Helping others have that “lightbulb” moment motivates me as an educator and researcher.
