Experience

MEDomicsLab, University of Sherbrooke • Sherbrooke, CanadaCurrent
Master's student in MEDomicsLab since 2025, after a research internship in the lab from October 2023 to August 2024. I combine federated learning and transfer learning with differential privacy to protect medical data, and I build MEDfl, the lab's federated learning package, which is integrated into the MEDomics platform.
MEDomicsLab profile
University of Sherbrooke • Sherbrooke, Canada
Supervised lab sessions and helped students work through technical problems. Graded assignments and exams against shared rubrics, giving clear, consistent, and timely feedback. Worked with the teaching team on student follow-up and on improving course material.
Independent • Remote
Delivered production web applications end to end for clients (including MEDfl, Servsi, and Spinet NFC), covering architecture, frontend, backend, and deployment.
