Hi, I'm Théo, a **software engineer** based in Paris, France. I'm fluent in French, English, Russian, **C++** and **JavaScript**. When I'm away from the desk, 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. I keep [[2025|logs]] where I outline my progress on various topics and new notes that might have appeared here, share some of my [[Reading Notes|book notes]], and write longer pieces on occasion like this one on [[fieldnotes/Essays/Practical Questions about Practical Questions|the impact of LLMs]]. >"Absorb what is useful, discard what is not, add what is uniquely your own." *— Bruce Lee* This is a living space, and you're likely to find mistakes or inaccuracies. I'd be grateful if you took the time to share with me what can be improved, so that it also benefits others. You can [leave anonymous feedback here](https://www.admonymous.co/theolouvel) or email me directly at **hello at theo louvel dot com**. If you'd like to discuss a project or get in touch, feel free to [schedule a virtual coffee here](https://cal.com/theolouvel/15min). A brief note on what you'd like to address is always appreciated so that I can come prepared.
