Cybersecurity engineering student and founder building quantum-resistant 2FA and securing networks through offensive and defensive skills.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cybersecurity engineering student at EFREI Paris and the founder of TANIT, focused on building authentication that stays resilient against quantum threats. I combine offensive security, defensive security, cryptography, and network administration in a hybrid, product-minded approach.
I’ve proven my practical skills through performance in hands-on platforms—ranked Top 2% on TryHackMe and Top 5% on Root-Me. I bring this same mindset to real-world security work: threat thinking, careful testing, and clear recommendations backed by evidence.
During my internships, I handled both architecture and detection. At GlaobalSafety, I supported security architecture audits and redesign—traffic mapping, segmentation (VLAN, DMZ), firewall hardening, and least-privilege enforcement—then helped resolve L1/L2 incidents and drafted recommendations for VPN controls and patch management. At InstaDeep, I analyzed vulnerabilities across 20+ systems and authored 5+ prioritized audit reports, then deployed Splunk SIEM by integrating logs and creating custom detection rules with CVE monitoring.
Alongside engineering, I’m building deeptech: TANIT is a 2FA solution resistant to quantum attacks, built on Starknet Layer 2. My security architecture uses a 3-phase protocol (ECDSA → Cairo smart contract → JWT) with post-quantum encryption, designed end-to-end, and I’m available for an apprenticeship starting September 2026.
