I 'm currently a PostDoc in Distributed Systems in the ERODS team of CNRS/LIG lab in Grenoble in France.
I received my PhD in Computer Science from Bordeaux University in November 2017, where I was a graduate teaching assistant at ENSEIRB Bordeaux INP.
I was a visiting student at the University College of Dublin, Ireland, in the Performance Engineering Lab.
I worked as an Engineer, Team and Project manager for 10 year in the software industry, owning a M.Eng (Math) form INSA Rouen, France and a M.Econ from Aix-Marseille University/EHESS.
My research interests are Network Softwarization (SDN, NFV), Performance Optimization of Distributed Systems, Content delivery and Techno-Economics.
I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute to a project, volunteer for a good cause or collaborate to a scientific article. Feel free to contact me: nicolas.herbaut ([at}) google mail

To experiment with widely distributed systems, I administrate some rasberry pi zeros W scattered in France in residential homes. These systems are attached to residential gateways through Wifi with dynamic IP addresses and I needed a way to reliably connect to them to launch experiments.
In the nineties, I used a service called Dyndns, which offered a free service for updating subdomains with dynamic IPs. This free service no longer exists, so I started looking for an alternatives. Most of them were costly and required the installation of closed-sources update clients. Opensource alternatives such as hopper.pw required complicated installations and also a dedicated domain name.
Hopefully, I've been a loyal customer of Gandi for some years now, and thanks to the introduction their livedns API, it can be used to update my main dns zone through a REST API.
prerequisites: curl jq (apt-get install curl jq)
