# About

I'm Théo FORTIN, an ESIEA engineering graduate focused on software security. During my apprenticeship at the French Ministry of Armed Forces (CND), I worked on automated static analysis of software vulnerabilities, software bills of materials (SBOMs) and DevSecOps automation. My main skills are C++, C, Python, Bash and cybersecurity. I'm also interested in hardware security and embedded systems.
