General info

I am from Niger where I completed my elementary and secondary studies. I discovered the information technology (IT) in Morocco where I obtained a bachelor in computer science. I extended my annual internship therein and worked 9 months as analyst-programmer. I then moved to Orléans in France, where I obtained a Master of science in computer science followed by a Ph.D in the same field in 2005. I spent 2006 and 2007 in teaching at the University of Orléans and a short Post Doc position at LIMSI/CNRS Orsay, near Paris. In November 2007, ClusterVision BV brought me to The Netherlands to work for them as cluster expert and Linux programmer.
