Hello everyone,


I am writing you to apply for the Google Summer of Code projects. I am long time Linux user and I have used Gentoo and Fedora for several years. I learned so much about computer science and operating system thanks to Gentoo that I want to become a contributor.


I have recently graduated from the Technology University of Vannes (IUT de Vannes, in Brittany, France) with a technology degree in computer science (called DUT in France). After these two years, I joined the Engineer School of Rennes (ESIR, in Brittany, France) into the information system department along with the advanced CS option. I plan to do a PhD in CS after my engineer degree. During my years of schooling, I have done an apprenticeship and several projects.


Throughout the last year of my technology degree at the Technology University of Vannes, I have done an apprenticeship in a startup called Smartmoov located in Rennes (Brittany, France) working in the industry of connected cars. I was conducting the development of the Android application  and I did some research about a new architecture that allows installation of features into an existing application. This experience was a success but now I want to try working for open-source organization I appreciate like Gentoo. You may find my other projects in my resume or my GitHub page (link in the resume below).
