I'm an MCB master's student in Grenoble, first year, soon to be on the Neuroscience & Neurobiology track. Getting there wasn't part of any plan — I took a neurobiology course almost as a formality, had a professor who was genuinely excited about the subject and transmitting knowledge, and that excitement turned out to be contagious enough to change my whole trajectory.
Outside of coursework I build tools from scratch, mostly bioinformatics-adjacent. Not because the libraries don't exist — because reimplementing something yourself is the fastest way to actually understand it, instead of just knowing which function to call. When I'm not doing that, I'm usually playing electric guitar, which is also the reason TabEngine exists.
Longer term, I'm aiming for a research engineer role in neuroscience, most likely somewhere in the neural regeneration / 3D imaging space (tissue clearing, light-sheet microscopy). Still a few years out, but that's the direction I'm rowing in.
Reach out:
TabEngine The most polished thing I've shipped so far. A free, open-source desktop guitar tab player for Guitar Pro files (GP3/4/5/GPX) — no account, no ads, no premium wall. I built it because Songsterr kept moving free features behind a paywall. It's licensed GPLv3 specifically so it can't be forked and resold: free now, free forever.
SeqProfiler
Multi-FASTA bioinformatics pipeline in Python. ORF detection on both strands, transcription,
translation, and biochemical properties (T_m, pI, extinction coefficients, molecular mass) —
no BioPython. Built from scratch because I wanted to understand the math, not just call a function.
Still tinkering with it — less about adding features at this point, more about using it as a reason
to go deeper on both the biology and the code.
GeneticDriftSim
Wright-Fisher population genetics simulator. Tracks allele frequency drift, mutation, and fixation
across generations in finite populations.
