Origin
01
It started with a Minecraft server — trying to get it online taught me more about networking than any classroom. That curiosity spiralled into studying cyberattacks, watching security content obsessively, and landing a middle-school internship at Collins Aerospace where I produced an awareness video on password managers.
That single experience made the direction clear. I never looked back.
Experience
2020 — STI2D · SIN Option
Chose the Sciences Informatique et Numérique track to go beyond surface-level IT — algorithms, networks, embedded systems.
2022 — Collins Aerospace · Summer Job
Maintained and audited hardware inventory across the site. First taste of operational IT at scale inside an aerospace environment.
2023 — IPI · Collins Aerospace · Apprenticeship
Configured workstations for internal clients, managed day-to-day user support, and handled machine rollouts. Enrolled at IPI in the networking specialisation.
2024–2026 — Airbus Defence & Space
Integrated the Datacenter team. Documented network links between machines, maintained rack-level inventory across rooms and buildings, and contributed to infrastructure visibility projects.
Ongoing — @exebios · YouTube
Running a French-language channel focused on attack techniques, tools, and awareness. Building an audience that learns alongside me.
What drives me
I rarely follow the template. Finding unconventional routes to solve problems is where I thrive — it makes troubleshooting faster and solutions more resilient. Most of the time I discover I've rediscovered a path professionals already mapped.
School taught me failure is forbidden. SpaceX taught me it's the engine of progress. I'm actively learning to fail correctly — fast, documented, and without shame. Every crash is a data point.
I consume knowledge across domains — sports, finance, geopolitics, philosophy, engineering. The connections between distant fields are where the best ideas hide. Understanding the world broadly makes me sharper in my field.
Looking ahead
Short term: land a hands-on cybersecurity role where I can apply offensive and defensive skills in a real environment.
Long term: guide organisations toward the right security posture — not selling products, but understanding their world and recommending what genuinely protects them.
