SYSADMIN-NETADMIN& SECURITY

A dedicated System and Network Administrator
upgrading skills to specialize in
**Cybersecurity** and robust infrastructure defense.

ABOUT MY PATH

I obtained my high school diploma with a focus on Mathematics and NSI (Digital Science and Technology) with honors at High School Fénelon in Grasse, establishing a solid foundation in logic and problem-solving.

Driven by my passion for computing, I completed my first year of Bachelor's studies at the Ynov Campus in Sophia Antipolis, building strong knowledge in programming, databases, and core IT concepts.

The second Bachelor year solidified my background in Systems and Networks. I strengthened essential foundational skills in infrastructure management, server configuration, and network protocols (DNS, DHCP, routing, switching).

**I am currently pursuing my third Bachelor year, specializing entirely in Cybersecurity, combined with an apprenticeship at Viapass in Cannes.** I work as a **Sysadmin, Netadmin, and Network Technician**, gaining invaluable practical experience. My goal is to leverage this existing expertise to develop proactive security strategies and defend large-scale systems and networks.
