2025 - Taking off
Cybersecurity trainer
Bespoke or off-the-shelf, my cybersecurity training courses are designed for professionals and comply with the quality standards expected by Qualiopi training organizations.
Asked by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces to train specialized services, I also work with renowned cybersecurity schools such as Otéria.
2022 to 2024 - Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity consultant at XMCO
XMCO trusted me for my first professional cybersecurity experience. After 10 years of self-taught practice and CTFs, my efforts finally paid off.
Cybersecurity consultant at Intrinsec
After XMCO, Intrinsec welcomed me and introduced me to different types of audits, allowing me to become much more well-rounded. It was also there that I truly sharpened my skills as a trainer for Intrinsec clients, as well as my recruitment skills through job interviews.
2015 to 2021 - The springboard
French Army
Enlisted as a sergeant in the French Army in 2015, I graduated top of my class from my IT specialty training at the end of 2016.
I then worked until the end of my contract as a system administrator.
Responsible for maintaining operational condition of some of the government’s most sensitive communication servers, I was a reference technician for Linux systems.
It was during this period that I entered the world of recruitment, conducting most of the technical interviews on the topic alongside the office manager.
Self-taught training
Determined to take control of my future, I strengthened my cybersecurity skills for years, notably through CTFs.
At that time, I also began evening classes at CNAM in Paris to progress through a cybersecurity engineering curriculum.
Additional highlights
Podcast
As part of my collaboration with Intrinsec, I had the opportunity to co-record with Raphaël PREVOST a podcast in partnership with LexisNexis about ATS malware.
CTF participations
Between 2020 and 2023, I had the opportunity to participate in multiple CTFs (Capture The Flag). Here is a list:
-
InsomniHack 2023 - 16/110
An iconic cybersecurity gathering, InsomniHack organizes a team CTF. I went to Lausanne with 7 Intrinsec consultants to challenge some of the best CTF teams.

Academic background
DUT Computer Science - 2010-2012
As a student at the IUT of Clermont-Ferrand, I obtained a DUT specializing in embedded systems in 2012.
It was an extraordinary experience, punctuated by two company internships, which partly shaped the person I am today.
I had the pleasure of meeting teachers such as Mr. Davalan and Mr. Delobel, who inspired several cohorts through their technical skills and passion.
Evening classes at CNAM - 2018-2020
Wishing to obtain an engineering degree through evening classes, I enrolled at CNAM during my military period.
After later obtaining a cybersecurity consultant position, I did not continue this curriculum, prioritizing a future VAE instead.
CNAM was nevertheless an opportunity for great encounters, with both friends and lecturers.
A special mention for two lecturers who left a strong impression on me through their outstanding teaching style and skills: Nicolas Pioch and Eric Gressier-Soudan.
