Hi, I’m Behouba Manassé Kouamé. Currently a Master’s student at Polytechnique Montréal in Québec, Canada. My journey in open source led me to work with the CRIU community as a Google Summer of Code student in both 2023 (on go-criu and checkpointctl) and 2025 (on criu-coordinator).

I’m interested in Linux and Cloud Computing, especially in low-level systems and distributed environments. Beyond tech, I enjoy drawing, gaming, and immersing myself in anime and manga. I might look like a big guy, but don’t let my physique fool you—I’m actually pretty shy and kind. 😅
