Who am I ?

I am a math student and a computer enthusiast for now. I program on my free time for fun, but I plan to make a living out of it after my studies. I love Linux and Foss.
There’s not much to see on this website yet, hopefully I’ll make interesting stuff in a few years.


Skills :

 Python 3
Using it as a hobby for 6 years. Did a lot of automating scripts. This is my first true programming language, and the one I’m the most comfortable with. I can do basically anything with it, from webscrapping to automated scripts, as well as more advanced gui softwares.

 Linux (and its command line)
Using Linux as my unique daily driver since Winter 2018.
Currently using Fedora 37 (after using Manjaro (KDE version) for 3 years), but already used Debian, Ubuntu, pop_os!, Kubuntu and Xubuntu on other devices. Comfortable with the command line and shell scripts, as well as file permissions and file system. I am used to building software from source.

   HTML/CSS/JS
Made plenty of hand-written little websites.
Now I’m used to framework like hugo for making nice front end (for instance this website).

 Server backend
I master Flask. I already used php and django, although only occasionnaly.
I can create and use APIs as well.

 SQL
Using sqlite module for Python and Godot.

Godot Engine
Have more than 200 hours of experience with Godot Engine, for video games and softwares, 2D as well as 3D. I regularly use GDScript and C#. I also master the multiplayer api. See examples

Blender
Not at all an artist, but used it a lot. Here is the result of my initiatory donut after following Blender Guru tutorial. Familiar with the majority of its tool, particularly materials, compositing and shading interface. Never used Blender’s scripting API although I plan to tinker with it as soon as I have a project idea.

 Git
I use git from its command line interface for most of my personal projects. I host the (few) most relevants on my gitlab account.

 Capture the flags
I spent dozens of hours solving CTFs, making me aware of basic SQL injections, XSS vulnerabilities and privilege escalation. I sometimes use a rootme account, but enjoy more doing Prologin’s annuals challenges, reading articles or watching specialized youtube channels.

Speak French natively
If it interests anyone.

I know how to exit vim
This really doesn’t convince you ?

Honorable mentions :

  • Got qualified two times at regional Prologin events.
  • Use Gimp regularly
  • C language with Arduinos
  • Know how to use a soldering iron
  • Closely follow hardware news and innovations
  • Already built several computers
  • Can’t keep any piece of hardware more than 2 years before opening it out
  • Flutter and Firebase
  • Discord bots
  • Game modding (and sometimes hacking)
  • Not a skill but mainly use open source software
