About Me
I am a PhD candidate in Computer Engineering at Polytechnique Montréal, researching post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and security for IoT-enabled drone networks. My work focuses on designing hybrid cryptographic protocols aligned with NIST's post-quantum standards (ML-KEM, ML-DSA, SLH-DSA) that remain practical for resource-constrained systems.
Before starting my PhD, I spent close to fifteen years working across network security, cloud infrastructure, and systems engineering. This background shapes how I approach cryptographic research: a design only matters if it can actually be deployed in constrained, real-world environments.

Anomaly Detection at Scale
Large-scale log anomaly detection using the ELK stack, applied to supercomputer environments and enterprise SIEM deployments.
QuantumGuard Bridge
QuantumGuard Bridge (QGB) is the company I founded to help organizations manage the transition to post-quantum cryptography. The platform discovers legacy cryptographic usage across software, firmware, and infrastructure — including hard-to-inspect compiled binaries and embedded systems — and generates a Cryptographic Bill of Materials (CBOM) to guide compliance-aligned migration planning. Rather than a simple scanner, QGB is designed as a hybrid cryptography management platform that supports backward-compatible deployment during the transition period, minimizing disruption for sensitive and high-availability environments.
The project was recognized as a winner of Polytechnique Montréal's Cybersecurity Innovation Competition (2025) and is part of the Propolys deep-tech incubation fellowship. I am currently validating the product with early prospective users and refining the technical roadmap.
