I’m Fabien Freling: a software engineer and avid gamer.
I am an EPITA alumni, promotion 2008. At the end of my studies, I decided to major in cognitive science and artificial intelligence.
At EPITA, I led the Mac association EpiMac, where I learnt how to use a Mac to do my UNIX projects and then how to leverage the awesomeness in Mac OS X technologies.
I left for Princeton, New Jersey, to work for Siemens Corporate Research during my internship in computer graphics.
At the end of the year I went back to France, contributed a bit to Olena while working at IGR, graduated, and decided it was time to set sail again.
In 2010 I moved to Oslo, Norway, to work as a Qt software engineer for Nokia with the great people of Trolltech.
I learned a lot with such a bunch of talented people in different fields (graphics, web, filesystem, etc).
In 2011 I had the chance to work on computer vision projects. I joined LTU technologies as a research engineer in Paris, France. I implemented exciting computer vision stuff (image matching, retrieval, similarity, etc), following the state of the art in the field.
In 2015 I joined DxO in Boulogne-Billancourt, France. I worked in the Camera Controls team on the DxO One. The goal was to deduced the best parameters to take a photo using automatic settings. It was my first time working on the firmware level and I learned a ton about photography.
In 2017 I joined Zenly in Paris. We made a social app with a strong focus on the map, putting the fun back in map apps. Although it looked “simple”, it involved a lot of technology, with a very custom tech stack.
In 2020 I joined MoMA in Paris again, to work on the E6 project. I felt it was the right time to work on current matters such as energy.
In 2022 I joined Netatmo in Boulogne-Billancourt to work on smart homes. I work in the Vision team, making home cameras smarter. I am thrilled to work on computer vision again.
