Energy Was Never Abstract to Me
The author grew up in Pont Mayo Sina, a village in northern Cameroon where there was no electricity and no computer until he arrived at university. He is now a PhD candidate at Inria Rennes, working on power management in cloud infrastructure. Engineering graduate of ENSPY. Believer in God, in discipline, and in the power of what you say about yourself. He finds the irony of his trajectory more poetic than anything else.
I grew up in Pont Mayo Sina, a village in northern Cameroon with no electricity and no computer. The first time I ever touched one was the day I walked through the doors of ENSPY (École Nationale Supérieure Polytechnique de Yaoundé). I never looked back.
Today I am a PhD candidate at Inria in Nantes. My thesis: “Contribution to Power Management in Cloud Infrastructures: from Hardware Limitation to Adaptive Orchestration.” From a village with no grid to research on power management at cloud scale. I did not plan the symmetry, but I find it fitting.
I believe in God. I love nature because I grew up completely inside it. I believe there are no idiots, only people who have not found their right frame yet. I believe the words you speak about yourself build the life you live: from the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Clear vision, faith, and disciplined work is not a formula. It is an operating system.
See yourself big. Be the prophet of your own life.
If you want to talk cloud computing, energy-aware systems, or how someone from a village with no electricity ended up caring about megawatts in data centres: I am always up for it.
