Hi, my name is Fabien Freling. I am an [EPITA](http://www.epita.fr/) alumni, promotion 2008.
At the end of my studies, I decided to major in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.

At EPITA, I led the Mac association [EpiMac](http://www.epimac.org/), where I learnt how to
use a Mac to do my UNIX projects and then how to leverage the awesomeness in Mac OS X technologies.

I left for Princeton, New Jersey, to work for
[Siemens Corporate Research](http://www.usa.siemens.com/en/about_us/research/home.htm)
during my internship in computer graphics.

I went back to France, contributed a bit to [Olena](http://olena.lrde.epita.fr/) while working at
[IGR](http://www.gustaveroussy.fr/), graduated, and decided it was time to set sail again.

So I moved to Oslo, Norway, to work as a [Qt](http://www.qt.io/) software engineer for
[Nokia](http://www.nokia.com/) with the great people of Trolltech.
But in the end, I decided Nokia's new direction with Windows Phone didn't suit me so I decided to fly back to France.

Damn I missed croissants.

I worked for [LTU technologies](http://www.ltutech.com/) as a research engineer in Paris, France.
I implemented exciting computer vision stuff (image matching, retrieval, etc), following the
state of the art in the field. Unfortunately LTU shut down in 2015.

I currently work for [DxO](http://www.dxo.com/) in Boulogne-Billancourt, France.
We work on great tools and hardware for photographers, making beautiful pictures just a few clicks away.
