I'm a Software Engineering student at École de Technologie Supérieure (ÉTS) in Montreal, passionate about DevSecOps, Cloud Security, and Security Engineering. With a unique background in math education and portfolio management, I bring a diverse perspective to building secure, automated, and scalable infrastructure.
My journey in software engineering has ignited a passion for integrating security into every stage of the development lifecycle. I'm eager to transition into DevSecOps and Cloud Security roles, where I can:
- Build and automate secure CI/CD pipelines
- Design and implement cloud security architectures
- Develop Infrastructure as Code with security best practices
- Monitor and respond to security threats in cloud environments
Long-term goal: Become a Security Engineer/Architect who designs resilient, secure-by-design systems that protect organizations while enabling development velocity.
