ChristianThibeault/README.md

👋 Hey, I'm Christian

I'm a physicist currently finishing a PhD in solar astrophysics, where I build simulations of the Sun’s magnetic field (and try not to crash the cluster).

Lately, I’ve been shifting my focus to backend software engineering. I build clean systems, clever tooling, and CLI-first apps (in Python and Go) to make working with computers a little bit more fun.


🔭 What I’m working on

  • gosysmesh
    A CLI-first system monitor that collects CPU/mem info over SSH. Written in Go, with a focus on clarity and good terminal aesthetics (color, tree-style output, live refresh).

  • footprint
    A command-line tool that wraps strace to provide human-readable insights into a program's execution. It summarizes file access, memory usage, and network activity, with output formats like summaries, verbose reports, JSON, and beautiful tree visualizations.

  • Cadena
    A web app that helps students in Quebec buy and sell used books (see: Cadena.ca). I worked mainly on the backend (Django + PostgreSQL + Azure).


⚙️ Tools I like

  • Languages: Python, Go, Bash, Julia
  • Workflow: Linux, ssh, tmux, Snakemake, GNU Parallel
  • Stack: Django, PostgreSQL, Azure

🧠 Interests

  • Backend engineering
  • Scientific & high-performance computing
  • Systems programming
  • Classical music
