// about me
Passionate about tech & security
Computer & Network engineering student at Polytech Dijon, passionate about cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and cloud computing.
Currently interning at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi (Bangkok, Thailand), where I'm building a hybrid network intrusion-detection system (NIDS) pairing ML with Snort 3 signatures.
Dynamic, rigorous and adaptable — I'm looking to put my technical skills to work for an innovative company.
