Skills.
Security Mindset
My introduction to security was hacking my brother's Wii as a kid. Then came rooting phones, flashing custom ROMs, and eventually realising I could get paid to break things professionally. Years later I still get the same kick out of finding the thing that wasn't supposed to be there.
Mentoring & Community
Teaching full-stack web development at Le Wagon and leading WNB.rb's European community for women and non-binary people in Ruby.
Projects.
