Antoine started working with Python in 2005 in order to implement a
189+
decentralized virtual world protocol. He started contributing to CPython
190+
in 2007 and became a core developer in 2008. His motivations have been
191+
driven both by the abstract desire to make Python better for the whole
192+
world, and by the concrete roadbloacks he was hitting in professional
193+
settings. His current focus is to improve support for system programming
194+
and concurrent programming (such as ``multiprocessing``).
195+
196+
As a professional, Antoine has been first specializing in network
197+
programming, and more lately (since 2014) in open source data science
198+
infrastructure such as Dask, Numba, Apache Arrow.
