Skills

Languages

  1. French: Mother tongue
  2. English: B2 Cambridge certified (~C1 estimated, not certified)
  3. German: B1 certified (~B2 estimated, not certified). I would need a few days to get back on track.
  4. Italian: ~A2
  5. Portuguese: Notions (A1 at most, able to understand easy speeches)

Cybersecurity Engineer

My CS Bachelor degree is about security. The skills I got and trained are:

  • Security risks awareness: What is dangerous and why
  • Security mitigation: How to prevent/fix such risks
  • Software/Malware/Cryptographic Analysis. Tools: Ghidra, Volatility, gdb, pwntools…
  • Attacks
    • On algorithm weakness (e.g. mode of operation for ciphers)
    • On wireless network (e.g. sniffing, trame injections, …). Tools: wireshark, scapy, nmap, …
    • High/Low level programming attacks (e.g. various kind of injections like SQL injection or XSS/CSRF, buffer overflows, weak OAuth flows, …)
    • Side channel and fault attacks
    • Various attacks using Metasploit and python scripting
  • Defenses
    • High/Low level programming (Good practices and algorithms, input sanitization, …)
    • Network: firewall, WAF, Snort

A complete audit of a company was also part of the formation.
It is worth mentioning that, even though the knowledge required are linked, we did more attacks than defenses.
Nb: We did learn a lot, but these skills need to be sharpened with the experience.

Software Engineer

  • Good logic and understanding of various DSA and IT concepts
  • Knowledge of many design patterns and paradigms. I can easily compare many solutions.
  • Easily adapt to the language idiomatic ways of programming which makes better code (performance, readability and maintenance)
  • Ability to forecast and plan the implementation.

The following chart shows my own programming language skill evaluation.

Some more details below

1. Python 🗲

  • Started to learn in 2018 and used daily: work (Odoo) and hobbies

  • Frameworks & libraries:

    • Web: Fastapi, Flask, Django, Odoo
    • ORM: SQLAlchemy, PonyOrm, Odoo
    • Data: Pandas, numpy
    • Interface: Tkinter, pygame
    • Scripting/Scrapping: lxml, json, requests, Pillow, …
    • …

    I am trying to get better statistical skills and learn to create my own ML models (pytorch)

2. C/C++

  • Started to learn in 2016
  • Used regularly at school and occasionally on small personal projects
  • Implementation of custom-made Data structures and algorithms at need for performance. Now, I usually prefer to use Rust when possible
  • Frameworks & libraries:
    • Interface/Graphism: SFML, QT
    • Web: CrowCpp, Pistache.io
    • Math: Eigen
    • Misc: Boost, …
    • …

3. Rust ♥

  • Started to learn at the beginning of 2022 by myself and got a course later on it during in my formation

  • My current favorite language.
    Its syntax, its powerful macros, its project management and its good design and good usage of functional programming concepts, security concerns … are unmatched

  • Frameworks & libraries:

    • Web: Rocket, Axum
    • Concurrency: Rayon, Tokyo
    • Serialization: Serde (what else)
    • ORM: Diesel
    • Permissions: Casbin
    • CLI: clap

    and the list keeps growing!

4. Javascript (& Web)

  • Started to learn in 2018
  • Mostly frontends: Vuejs, ReactJS, AlpineJs, Jquery, CSS/SCSS, bootstrap.
    Nb: I don’t have a graphical skill, meaning I am usually not the one creating the design.
  • Also did some projects on: algorithms implementations, rendering, scrapping (puppeteer), ML (Tensorflow for hand gesture recognition) and WebRTC/streaming

5. Java

  • Started to learn in 2019
  • Mostly did:
    • Data structure and algorithms implementations
    • Interface (Swing)
    • Web (Springboot)

6. Kotlin

Learned the basics of how to create a native android app.

7. SQL

I am comfortable with the old standard and the Postgres’ flavor, but since I saw modern SQL, I think I have some more to learn before being statisfied with my level.

System administrator (Linux)

  • Reverse Proxy: Nginx, Traefik
  • Containers/virtualization: Docker, Podman, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Jelastic
  • Management: Ansible, Fabrik, Terraform (+ Terragrunt), Vagrant
  • Network: iptables, nftables, snort
  • Monitoring: Zabbix, Grafana Dashboard, fluentd
  • Benchmark: Apache Jmeter
