About me
Passionate about IT and new technologies, I am lucky not to have the feel of working when I exercise my job. The challenges change quickly, the technology evolves and we must constantly adapt to these changes, this is what makes the IT missions so interesting for me.
I'm currently specialized in web performance and security as CDN & Cybersecurity Engineer (CDN/WAF/DDoS Mitigation)
