Hi, I'm Francois, an Honors computer science student based in Canada. My main focuses are on systems programming and security engineering, and the intersection of these fields with AI.
I like working close to the machine: network programming, operating systems, distributed systems. As such, I've built various projects around these topics which you can find here.
Outside of programming, I play CTFs and hacking labs on various platforms such as HackTheBox, PicoCTF, and pwnable.kr.
