about me
Hi, I'm Rick — a last-year Computer Science & Machine Learning student at EPITA, based in Paris.
Currently, I'm completing my end-of-studies internship as a Data Engineer at CGI France, where I design and maintain data pipelines for Banque de France.
I love building things — I’m always coming up with new ideas and bringing them to life.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me lost in a playlist, deep in a game, or chasing the perfect shot with my camera.
