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.igr.fr/), graduated, and decided it was time to set sail again.

So I moved to Oslo, Norway, to work as a [Qt](https://qt-project.org/) 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.

And for now, I currently work for [LTU technologies](http://www.ltutech.com/) in Paris, France.
We work on exciting computer vision stuff (image matching, retrieval, etc).

Damn I missed croissants.
