About

Applied mathematician working on machine learning, currently building games and evaluations for language models.

Originally from Belgium, I moved to Switzerland to study mathematics at EPFL and applied mathematics at ETH Zürich

I am currently a founding engineer and ML researcher at Xent Labs, where we develop Xent Games: an open-ended space of games for language models that produces measurable signals on reasoning, anticipation and cooperation.

Outside of research, I have built and shipped production websites for organisations including Festival Balélec, Europe's largest student festival.
