I'm Tom Niget (pronounced /ni.ʒɛ/), I'm 22, living in France and currently:

• working on compilers and cloud infrastructure at Rapid.Space after getting an engineering degree in Computer Science at the Sophia Antipolis engineering school (Polytech Nice)
• teaching CPU design, Linux, system administration, parallel programming, and some other things at my alma mater Polytech Nice and at IUT Nice Côte d'Azur

I've wandered in many areas of the world of computers; from budgeting software to disk management utilities in my younger years, from real-time image processing to logic programming, from type theory to digital circuits. I've written programming languages, a Python IDE, a game for TI-84 calculators, low-level drivers for a managed kernel, and run Rust code on logic circuits.

I won first place in a European CTF competition with some friends while in high school, my work has been featured in a CS teachers journal (in French) and a Kotaku article, and I've front-paged /r/programming with a cursed Rust crate.

From time to time, I write blog posts about things that I find interesting.
