I am a programmer motivated by challenges of security, load, and software architecture. My usual tools are C++, PHP 7, Javascript, Java / Scala, MySQL, git, vim, and Linux. I love working in lower-level environments such as C and assembly. My native language is French and I can read, write, and speak English fluently.
