Luc Baro

Software Developer

About me

Passionate about high volumetry challenges which would be big data to process or handling high traffic loads, I strive to find appropriate solutions to build better softwares, improving both correctness & performance.
I'm curious and eager to learn techniques, languages, patterns or tools for that, because after all:

Every day is a school day

Currently

Looking for an opportunity involving functional programming, data processing, distributed environments, especially with Scala.
