tfrere/README.md

Hi, I'm Thibaud 👋

I'm a frontend engineer with 10+ years of experience, working at the intersection of creative tech, research interfaces, and robotics.

I currently split my time between Hugging Face, where I build ML research interfaces (including data visualization work with D3.js), and Pollen Robotics, where I work on Reachy Mini, an open-source social robot.

What I work on

  • Research interfaces — making ML tools and data explorable and usable (React, D3.js, Vega-Lite)
  • Expressive robotics — personality architecture, animation pipelines, and desktop apps for Reachy Mini (Tauri, Rust)
  • Creative tech — generative art, 3D (R3F, Blender), shader nodes, procedural workflows
  • Hardware projects — ESP32-based devices, 3D printing, electronics prototyping

Background

  • École 42 (2013–2016)
  • Former research engineer at Sorbonne (data pipelines, text-to-video models)
  • 4 years at OBVIOUS, creative AI studio (2020–2024)

Interests beyond code

  • Low-tech philosophy and convivial tools (Illich)
  • Fermentation, food autonomy, and climate resilience
  • Documentary collaboration — currently involved in projects on click workers in Kenya and post-truth media
  • Drawing, harmonica, intentional communities

What you'll find here

  • Research UI prototypes and visualization experiments
  • Robotics tooling and animation systems
  • Creative coding and generative art projects
  • The occasional hardware/firmware sketch

Feel free to explore, fork, or reach out.
