Background
About
Graduated as a Network & Cybersecurity Engineer (MSc level) from CESI (2017-2021), after an HND in IT & Networks (2015-2017) and an A-Level in Digital Systems (2012-2015), both at Lycée Henri Loritz in Nancy.
Network & security expertise: Fortinet, Juniper, pfSense, Palo Alto, monitoring (Zabbix, Grafana, SIEM/SOC), virtualization (Proxmox, VMware) and scripting (Python, Bash).
A homelab enthusiast since 2012, I run a full production-grade infrastructure at home: a pfSense/UniFi network rack segmented into VLANs, WireGuard VPN, an internal PKI, AdGuard DNS filtering, a 4-node Proxmox cluster, an Unraid NAS, Reolink/Frigate video surveillance with AI acceleration (Google Coral), and advanced home automation on Home Assistant (Zigbee2MQTT, ESPHome). A permanent testing ground for new technologies before bringing them into the field.
Since March 2024, I run MDBA Consulting, working as an L3 Network & Security subcontractor on EDF's critical infrastructure: advanced troubleshooting, CVE monitoring and remediation, IPS probe deployment, and technical documentation (test plans, acceptance reports). My goal: moving further into operational cybersecurity (SOC/CERT, pentest, Zero Trust) and AI applied to network anomaly detection.
