Hi, I'm Mahot Descelliers
I'm a curious engineer, currently working as a Software Engineer at Harmattan AI. I especially care about developer experience, maintainability, software engineering practices, and finding clean and elegant solutions to tricky problems. In my free time, I like to tinker and learn new skills.
Work experience
Software Engineer @ Harmattan AI
At Harmattan, I spend most of my time working on our C2 software. I'm also the maintainer of several internal tools used across R&D, and I work on defining and promoting software engineering best practices across the organization.
Software Engineer, ML @ Withings
I worked in the ML team, where I built tools and infrastructure to support algorithm development, certification, deployment and observability.
- Built and maintained several collecting, labeling and monitoring tools for my team and the Clinical team.
- Developed online and offline data collection tools, libraries, CI/CD tooling, internal dashboarding tools and package-hosting infrastructure.
- Defined, promoted and implemented software engineering best practices across the team.
- Got involved in several side projects creating immersive experiences using Withings devices, for events like CES [1] [2] [3].
R&D Engineer intern @ Sysnav
I worked on optimizing pedestrian navigation algorithms for the PLD (Personal Location Device) program, a precision indoor/outdoor positioning system.
- Worked on position correction algorithms features using BLE/UWB beacons.
- Built replay and analysis tooling in Python - including log parsing, algorithm replay, trajectory visualization, and metrics computation - to support iterative optimization and decision-making.
- Designed test plans and generated evaluation datasets.
- Gained hands-on experience with BLE Beacons, UWB, and LoRa communication protocols.
Co-Founder @ JAD Technology
I co-founded a startup delivering UHF RFID traceability solutions for Industry 4.0 and IoT applications.
- Developed and deployed a smart cabinet proof of concept for production tool storage at Groupe Renault, up to product industrialization.
- Built a real-time web application to track client assets, and an end-to-end traceability solution for a luxury meal delivery service, covering inventory, tracking and order verification.
- Worked with RFID UHF (RAIN, MIFARE, ...) and Raspberry Pi.
Industrial Design intern @ Akonite
At Akonite, I worked on various industrial design and prototyping projects.
- Preliminary industrial design project for an innovative fire safety enclosure.
- Design work on bespoke pieces for luxury brands.
- Redesign of components in Akonite's board sports range.
