Robin, student at ISIMA.

French student currently based in Clermont-Ferrand, studying computer science, cyber security and networking.

Experience

  1. CERN (Internship)

    JWT
    Python
    RESTful APIs

    I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research. I will be working on DiracX, a project that aims to improve the performance of the Dirac software, which is used to manage the computing resources of the LHCb experiment. I am looking forward to contributing to this exciting project and learning from the talented team at CERN.

    My main tasks will include:

    • Develop the Pilot Code
    • Assist in developing RESTful APIs, like implementing JWT authentication
    • Contributing to clear, maintainable documentation

  2. Inseki (Personal Project)

    Golang
    Go routines
    Optimizations
    Data Structures

    Inseki is an open-source tool that analyzes a disk to identify different projects, and is currently in development.

    It was designed because, as a student, I often found myself with a lot of projects on my computer and I wanted a way to organize them. Inseki scans a disk and identifies different projects based on the project architecture. I am excited to continue working on this project and to share it with the community.

    The technologies used are:

    • For the core:
      • Golang
      • Go routines
    • For the desktop app:
      • WailsV3 (A Go library)
      • HTMX (A JavaScript library)
      • Templ (A Go template engine)

  3. Smart Sorter (Personal Project)

    JavaScript
    NodeJS

    Smart Sorter is the original project behind Inseki. It is an open-source tool that sorts files based on their type.

    This original version was written in JavaScript, and I decided to rewrite it in Golang to improve its performance and to learn more about the language.

  4. Astro' (Personal Project)

    Golang
    Databases
    Svelte
    Data Structures

    Astro' is a project that aims to create a competition management platform for fencing.

    This project was born out of my passion for fencing and my desire to contribute to the fencing community. Furthermore, I want to create a modern and user-friendly platform that will make it easier for fencers to participate in competitions and for organizers to manage them.

    The technologies used are:

    • For the core:
      • Golang
      • Databases
    • For the desktop app:
      • WailsV3 (A Go library)
      • Svelte (A JavaScript library)

Education

  1. ISIMA Computer Science School (Master)

    I am excited to have joined ISIMA, where I am specializing in cybersecurity and networks. This opportunity is allowing me to develop my skills in various areas such as pentesting, the Internet of Things (IoT), and web security, among others. I am thoroughly enjoying diving into these exciting topics and actively contributing to digital security.

  2. Prep'ISIMA (Bachelor)

    I went to Clermont-Auvergne University to prepare for the entrance to ISIMA. This experience allowed me to consolidate my knowledge in mathematics and computer science. I also had the opportunity to work on various projects, such as creating a server in Java, developing games in C and Java, and creating a website in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

  3. Maine de Biran High School (Baccalaureate)

    I graduated from Maine de Biran High School with a scientific baccalaureate. This diploma allowed me to develop my skills in mathematics, physics, and computer science.

Hobbies

Fencing

It has been now sixteen years since I started fencing.

I have been practicing foil in competition for almost fourteen years, and was able to participate to two world cups, and nearly ten national championships. I also obtained my referee diploma and am now a regional referee.

Photography

In addition to fencing, I have been practicing photography for about five years.

I started astrophotography with a Canon EOS 600D, acquired a telescope (a 150/750 from Skywatcher) with a motorized mount (EQ3-2) and developed my skills in post-processing with software such as DeepSkyStacker and Photoshop.

A few years later, I joined my passion for fencing and photography by taking pictures during fencing competitions, and had the chance to have some of my photos published on some french Instagram accounts.
