About

Final-year engineering student at EPITA Paris, majoring in Cybersecurity and Systems. Over two years as an apprentice at Thales, I have worked across software integration, secure development in C, and vulnerability management. I enjoy building reliable, secure systems — from low-level code to the processes that keep them safe over time.
