What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that fosters growth in cybersecurity and embedded systems, with a focus on innovative projects and a collaborative team environment.

I am a Junior Software & Security Engineer with a strong background in embedded systems and cybersecurity. My academic journey has equipped me with a Master’s Degree in Cybersecurity from Grenoble INP, where I focused on the design and analysis of secure protocols and infrastructures. I am passionate about programming, open source, and creating secure infrastructures that protect sensitive data.

Currently, I am working at Elsys Design, where I lead the development and hardening of a secure embedded proxy gateway. My experience includes building CI/CD pipelines, implementing advanced Linux system hardening, and developing Python integration tests for secure networking applications. I thrive in collaborative environments and am committed to delivering high-quality, secure software solutions.
