02MY SKILLS

From requirements to reality.
Connecting every step.

A foundation in development, an architect’s perspective and a security mindset: three skills I bring together to build and evolve software.

Choose an area of expertise
01 / 03

Software development

I build tools from end to end, drawing on in-depth experience with Linux and software development.

  • Systems, embedded & full-stack development
  • Linux: installation, configuration, maintenance
  • Testing, integration & deployment

IN PRACTICE

From the code to its runtime environment, I connect application behaviour with the constraints of the system it runs on.

  • Go
  • Rust
  • Python
  • C
  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Angular
  • Node.js
  • Git

Software architecture

I translate functional requirements into technical solutions and work with the team to deliver them.

  • Requirements writing & effort estimation
  • Solution design & technical decisions
  • Technical guidance & presentations

IN PRACTICE

As a technical lead, I guide developers, explain architectural decisions and help the team work towards a shared technical direction.

  • Software architecture
  • Technical lead
  • REST APIs
  • Scrum

Cybersecurity

I address security alongside architecture, across the software, operating system and network.

  • Operating system & network security
  • Certificate management & cryptography
  • Risk analysis & reverse engineering

IN PRACTICE

A specialised master’s degree in cybersecurity, backed by hands-on experience implementing system and network protections and prototyping an IDS.

  • IDS
  • PKI
  • Cryptography
  • Ansible
  • Stormshield

MY APPROACH

End-to-end delivery, with the team.

  1. Understand

    Work with business and technical stakeholders to clarify requirements and constraints.

  2. Design

    Turn requirements into an architecture, select solutions and discuss decisions with the team.

  3. Build

    Develop the tool, support the developers and include security from the design stage.

  4. Operate & evolve

    Deploy, secure, maintain and evolve the software in its Linux environment.

03MY EXPERIENCE

From code
to architecture decisions.

My experience spans full-stack applications, Linux systems and software for demanding technical environments. It has taught me to make architectural decisions and explain them to both the people building the software and those defining the requirements.
