Benoit Rospars is a software engineer with 12 years of experience building pedagogical web applications and developer tooling, currently contributing to Inria Learning Lab in Grenoble. He designs and deploys course-support platforms and exercises (Jupyter, OpenEdx, GitLab, Discourse) and builds user-facing apps in Vue.js and Electron, with strong CI/CD and Docker practices. His open-source work includes front-end improvements to the widely used scikit-learn MOOC, focusing on slide rendering and iframe/content-only presentation tweaks to improve learner experience. Comfortable across legacy and modern stacks, he has migrated interactive displays from Flash to AngularJS and shipped e-commerce and content sites earlier in his career. A habitual night tinkerer and contributor to digital commons projects, he blends pragmatic engineering with a curiosity for UX and educational impact. Based in Grenoble, he pairs academic computer science training with hands-on production delivery for online learning.
