Hi 👋, I am Mickaël!
Ph.D. in Biostatistics · Quarto Wizard · Cinephile
About Me
Senior biostatistician at Alsinova (Astek) and, separately, a freelance developer specialising in the Quarto and R ecosystems. I combine expertise in genetics and multi-omics analysis with open-source development.
Note
Available as a freelance for short-term and extended engagements.
Quarto extensions and multi-format pipelines (HTML, Typst/PDF, Reveal.js), R package development, shiny applications, reproducible workflows with Dev Containers and continuous integration, and training.
Biostatistics, clinical, and data-analysis work goes through Alsinova rather than my freelance offer.
50 peer-reviewed papers in top-tier journals, including Nature, Nature Genetics, and Diabetes. Eight of those place me as first, co-first, last, or co-last author.
Open Source
- Creator of the Quarto Extensions Directory and Awesome Quarto.
- Developer of the Quarto Wizard VS Code extension, 30+ Quarto extensions, and Gribouille, a grammar of graphics for Typst.
- Creator of R packages: NACHO, insane, MiSTr, snpEnrichment, and ggpacman.

Personal
Away from the keyboard I watch a lot of films (
), about half of them in a theatre.
I also play board games, from heavy strategy to party games, and walk Saga, my black Labrador Retriever.
