Mélian Fruchart

Hi, I am Mélian Fruchart

HPC Engineer & Software Developer

I am a computer science engineer, graduate of the french ENSIMAG engineering school, with a 3-year work-study experience as an HPC engineer apprentice at HPE. I am now looking for new opportunities in Software Engineering and High-Performance Computing.

Based in Paris, I am open to on-site, hybrid or full remote jobs, starting as soon as possible.
