I'm Benoît Brisset, French native living in Paris.
Daddy of 2 adorables 👯.
Writing softwares 💻

Curious and passionate about IT since always, I started to practice this discipline in the world of Telecoms about ten years ago. I was working on high performance applications with low latency. I coded algorithms for different layers of OSI Model. It allowed me to discover C++ as well as different optimization techniques (SIMD, multi-threading, GPU Cuda, cache aligment, and so on).
More and more interested in programming, I decided to take a new way in order to broaden my vision of computing. I put my algorithmic skills to the route calculation. It allowed me to get a foothold in the world of Rest APIs via the open source Navitia application and its eco-system. It is an application that I maintain for 3 years now.

• I pratice the automation religion. If you can automate a process, do it with a good script
• Open Source is a philosophy to which I fully adhere and support.
  I daily scan new languages and libraries which practice this openness for backend applications
• Following my journey, I naturally turned to learning Rust which is the logical next step of C++ for me.
  I love the security arguments behind it and the performance aspect
• I'm a real Vim/Tmux zealot. I fell in love for these tools. From now on, I can't do without it anymore 🙊.
  I know, it can be time consuming to set up a good enviroment but this is fun and usefull !

• I am a street rider 🚀. Do bicycle and skateboard is my best way to practice sports and enjoy the landscape
• Plants lovers. Like to exchange seeds and cutting with neighbours and friends 🌱
• Keep trying to be vegetarian for the planet 🌍. Not an easy stuff
