About Me

Naturally curious, I have developed expertise in information analysis and strategic communication for decision-makers. Graduating from Ensai with a focus on statistics, economics, and computer science, I have worked at Insee and then at the French Treasury, where I was responsible for corporate tax forecasting and involved in international tax reforms. Currently, at the Data Science Division of the General Inspectorate of Finance, I contribute to strategic missions against fraud and public policy evaluation. Passionate about cybersecurity and social psychology, I also develop R Shiny applications on various topics.
