I'm **Théo Louvel**, a Paris-based software engineer specializing in **high-performance applications** using **C++**, **Node.js**, **Neo4j**, **MongoDB** and **AWS**.
To ensure dedicated focus and the quality I aim to deliver, I limit my work to three concurrent projects. I am currently seeking to partner on a new project pertaining to **quantitative analysis**, **quantitative trading** or **scientific computing**.
My next project slot is **Q1 2026**.
### Writing & Exploration
This website is a digital garden, where I explore the intersection of computer science, complex systems, mathematics, chaos theory, behavioral psychology, and philosophy.
You'll find [[2025|ongoing logs]] where I outline my progress on various topics, [[Reading Notes|book notes]] from my latest reads, and occasional longer pieces like this one on [[fieldnotes/Essays/Practical Questions about Practical Questions|the impact of LLMs]].
This space is constantly evolving. If you see something that can be improved, I welcome the [[fieldnotes/README#Let's Connect|feedback]].
### Away from the Desk
When I'm not working on a project, chances are you can find me in my [[Library|library]], on a yoga mat, trail running in a forest or hiking somewhere in the Alps with my camera
### Let's Connect
I'm open to discussing interesting projects or ideas.
