About me
My name is Olivier Bruchez. To make it short, here's my Twitter bio*:

my CV / résumé.
About this website
This site is meant as a central repository for my public lists and documents, which were previously stored on
Github, Google Drive, etc. It was also an excuse to start a new
programming project, using
Scala, Play,
Akka, and more.
Most of the content on this site is stored on
Github, but some of it also comes
from external APIs such as the Blogger API or the
Twitter API.
Blog
I have a blog on Blogger since September 2006. It is not completely
integrated with this website yet, but I'm working on it.
