“On ne voit bien qu’avec le cœur. L’essentiel est invisible pour les yeux.”
Le Petit Prince, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, 1951.

Dear reader, welcome to my blog.

My name is Sebastien Soudan. I am an engineer and a doctor (Engineer from Ecole Centrale de Lyon, got a MSc and PhD in CS from ENS de Lyon). After doing research on resource sharing in networks for about 5 years, I have been a co-founder and the CTO of a SaaS start-up in the cloud monitoring space for another 5 years, then been an Architectus Oryzus on different projects in a large US company for long enough. Now, I am building cool stuffs at Reken.

I’m definitively a nerd. Anything related to science and technology gets my attention. This blog is about some random projects or ideas, feel free to share and comment.

  1. Bayesian Regression in your browser

    What about running a NUTS sampler in the browser?

  2. The world we live in...Bayesian regression of daily maximum temperature

    Exploring the NOAA Global Historical Climatology Network Daily data.

  3. Fun with code

    in a sandbox

  4. Bayesian Inference of Logistic Functions

    Small tutorial on using Bayesian inference on noisy logistic functions.

  5. Web3 and platforms?

    web3 opportunities (and challenges) for platforms

  6. Attention, SoS - Platforms to the rescue?

    Can platforms come to the rescue of System of Systems (SoS)?

  7. Extreme Value Theory - Application to Earhquake records in CA

    Some code around BM, POT and quakes in California!

  8. Extreme Value Theory - Peaks-Over-Threshold method

    Second theorem, second method - Peaks-Over-Threshold (POT).

  9. Extreme Value Theory - Block Maxima method

    Behaviors of maxima.

  10. TFX and MLops

    Cause we are not in the one-offs business.

  11. Bayesian Optimization

    Let's explore exploration methods.

  12. Experimentation with Gaussian Processes and small 'eureka' moment in Bayesian inference

    Why do we use Gaussian distribution everywhere?

  13. Navigating the engineering complexity space

    Are you looking for complexity?

  14. Growing complexity

    Once upon a time, ... everything was simpler. And then we started making things and it became a lot more complex. How far?

  15. DE0 Nano Soc tech soup

    Another weekend project: this time playing with a Cyclone V SoC where one can easily get lost in the technology mix.

  16. Boat Autopilot Powered with an Intel Edison

    An Intel Edison, a bit of electronic components, a cup of Golang code and here we are with an autopilot for a boat. Serve warm. Enjoy!

  17. Arduino Bourguignon

    When you get an Arduino board and a recipe of boeuf bourguignon in hand, how do use the former to improve the later? This post presents an Arduino-based cooking assistant that help you define time-temperature profile and have your dishes cooked accordingly.

  18. Tiny Spring Boot app in Kotlin

    Kotlin is a statically typed programming language targeting the JVM. It enables to write safe and concise code making it a good candidate for big project development. On the other side, Spring Boot is a well known framework very helpful to write micro-services. This post explores how to implement a simple REST server in Kotlin.
