Hello! 👋 My name is Pierre, and I am currently an engineering student specializing in cybersecurity.
Education
During my studies, I had the valuable opportunity to spend a year as an exchange student in Stockholm 🇸🇪, Sweden. Beyond improving my language skills, this experience allowed me to immerse myself in a new culture and to discover a different approach to learning. While in Sweden, I studied natural sciences at Viktor Rydberg Odenplan (VRGO).
After returning from Sweden, I continued my higher education in computer science, focusing in particular on networking as well as programming in C and C++. Today, I am pursuing my engineering degree in computer science with a specialization in cybersecurity at HEIG-VD 🇨🇭.
Technical skills
Throughout my studies and previous experiences, I have developed strong proficiency in C and C++. I also possess extensive knowledge of PHP and JavaScript, which I have applied in various academic and personal projects.
My work on different projects has given me the opportunity to interact with a wide range of databases, both relational and non-relational. The web has always been a domain of special interest to me—not only for its apparent simplicity, but also for its underlying complexity, which offers endless opportunities for growth and improvement.
I am familiar with web security concepts and regularly apply secure coding practices in my development work. I have hands-on experience with version control systems like Git and have participated in collaborative development environments.
My technical toolkit also includes scripting with Python and Bash as well as a great knowledge of Unix/Linux environments, both of which are valuable for cybersecurity 🔒 and automation tasks.
Experience and Involvement
I have had the opportunity to work with several clients on a variety of projects, allowing me to apply my technical skills in real-world settings and adapt to different needs and contexts. In addition to these freelance collaborations, I completed a six-week internship as part of my studies, where I gained valuable experience working within a professional company environment.
I also participated in 2022 and 2025 in the Hacking Health event in Besançon, an innovation marathon focused on healthcare challenges, where I contributed my technical expertise and collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to develop creative solutions.
