I am a freelance engineer specialized in Model-Based Design (MBD), powertrain engineering, energetics, and control software development. My experience spans multiple industries and projects: I have developed control software for electric vehicle cooling systems (Hutchinson), worked on embedded control algorithms for Formula 1, Formula E, and LMDh programs (Alpine), and designed predictive control strategies for PEM fuel cell systems (IFP Energies nouvelles). My expertise includes system modeling (Simscape, AMESim, GT-Power), control strategy development (Simulink, MATLAB), validation (MIL, SIL, HIL), and automatic code generation.
I have also contributed to research projects on vehicle thermal management (VEDECOM) and turbocharged spark-ignition engine thermal analysis (École Centrale de Nantes in collaboration with PSA Group). I enjoy working in collaborative, international environments, bringing strong technical skills together with a hands-on, solution-driven approach to help my clients develop, optimize, and validate complex control systems.
Topics of interest: R & D, Motorsport, automotive industry, fuel cells, engine tuning and design, simulation of processes and propulsion.

Project history
Develop control strategies for the Nissan Formula E vehicle. Implement software solutions in real-time environments.
Achievements:
Communications Management and System Integration:
- Managed CAN communication between the master ECU (McLaren VCU) and other control units
- Controlled exchanges between the chassis and the driver
- Centralized required requirements and the development of system CAN specifications (messages, frames, etc.)
- Participated in the integration of features into the low-voltage electrical architecture
Validation, Testing, and Technical Support:
- Contributed to MIL, SIL, HIL (dSpace), and DIL testing to validate developed strategies
- Analyzed logs for track performance diagnostics
- Collaborated closely with technical race management and chassis teams
- Used Agile methodology and participated in code reviews to improve software quality
The client wanted to conduct a feasibility study on applying the MBD approach within their company. The goal was to implement it in a development project for a refrigerant flow control valve in an electric vehicle. Using a benchmark study, the internally developed controller was compared against the controller provided with the electric motor.
Achievements:
Controller Development and Modeling:
- Developed a speed and position controller for electric motors
- Developed FOC and Six-Step strategies
- Conducted controller validation via Matlab Simscape using MIL mode
- Executed bench testing with automatic code generation (MBD with Matlab/Simulink)
- Used a Texas Instruments demonstration board for hardware validation
- Authored detailed system specifications and requirements
- Contributed to software integration within the embedded architecture
- Participated in functional testing and code reviews
- Applied Agile methodologies for software project management
- Analyzed electrical measurement data to optimize control performance
- Collaborated with technical teams to tune control algorithms
- Evaluated electrical safety and compliance of the developed systems
Develop control strategies for the Alpine Formula 1, Nissan Formula E, and Alpine Le Mans vehicles.
Implement software solutions in real-time environments.
Achievements:
Embedded Software Adaptation and Development:
- Adapted F1 control software (ICE, ERS, and standard software) to the LMDh vehicle
- Developed Matlab tools and scripts (compilation tools, file management, etc.)
- Developed physical simulation models
- Developed strategies controlling MGU-K and MGU-H electric motors (slave ECU)
- Designed energy management under standard F1 SECU (master ECU)
- Validated developments via MIL, SIL, and HIL (dSpace) to ensure software robustness
- Monitored track performance from the operations room (support, debugging, and software interpretation assistance)
Embedded Systems Integration and Validation:
- Participated in DIL and bench testing for hardware validation
- Utilized CAN protocol to ensure embedded systems communication
- Centralized necessary requirements and system CAN specifications development (messages, frames, etc.)
Technical Support and Collaboration:
- Analyzed real-time telemetry for rapid technical decision-making
- Supported track engineers in data interpretation and calibration choices
- Collaborated with race technical management and partners for continuous optimization
- Applied Agile best practices and led regular code reviews
