Hello Dynare Friends,

So it is with an email that I bid you farewell! After 10 great years with Dynare I am excited to be moving to Philadelphia to join my fiancée as we expect a baby boy on 22 August.

It has been a pleasure working together these past years. I have learned a lot, not just about programming and economics, but about French culture, politics, and language :)

In talking with Sebastien, we decided that though I'd no longer be working for Dynare, I'd keep my affiliation and may make contributions from time to time going forward, at least until I find another job. So please don't hesitate to ask any questions you may have if you think I can be of help.

I'll certainly be back at Jourdan at some point to collect my affairs, so that'll be a good chance to say goodbye to the team in Paris. Regardless of when it is, however, I hope our paths cross again.

I wish you all the best.
