Welcome to my website. My name is Pascal Baillehache, I'm a French computer science engineer, born in 1977, living in Japan since 2005. Below is a short introduction of some of my personal and professional accomplishments (from newest to oldest). If you come here looking for articles I published until October 2026, they are no longer online. You can simply ask for them. If it's done in a polite manner I'll probably reply.

Our World is falling apart and our planet is burning. Capitalism is leading us to Mad Max, AI is making it even more nightmarish. So many social and environmental problems need to be solved urgently, I do not wish any more my labour to profit the personal and short-term benefit of a few greedy ones. If you're sincerely working on the well being of all living things and a sustainable World, or know someone who does, and you think my skills may help, I beg you to contact me! I'm also opened to volunteering and learning new things completely out of my field.
