About me
Hi! I am a Senior Security Engineer at Trail of Bits, working remotely from the Southwest of France.
My work focuses on making AI systems secure and trustworthy. Over the years that has taken different forms: building confidential computing pipelines to protect sensitive data, researching machine unlearning for regulatory compliance, and studying attacks against ML models. Today my focus is twofold: assessing the security of systems that integrate AI — how models are deployed, how they interact with tools and services, what is their lifecycle and where the architecture introduces risk — and developing tools to attest model provenance and establish trust in ML supply chains. My conviction is that real vulnerabilities rarely lie in the models themselves (in fact they are vulnerable by design!), but in the systems built around them.
Background
I graduated from École Centrale de Lyon, one of France’s top engineering schools, and from the University of Toronto, where I completed a Master’s under the supervision of Prof. Nicolas Papernot at the CleverHans Lab and Vector Institute. My research covered machine unlearning and model extraction attacks against audio classifiers.
After graduate school I joined TotalEnergies as a Data Engineer, industrializing AI pipelines on HPC infrastructure, then Mithril Security where I led the R&D team building privacy-preserving AI solutions with confidential computing. I have been at Trail of Bits since 2023.
Outside of work I am into outdoor sports — hiking, kayaking, skiing, and gym — and music. I play saxophone in several bands and arrange music for my own group.
Community
While studying at École Centrale de Lyon, I was an active member and informal leader of ECLAIR (École Centrale de Lyon, Amis de l’Informatique et des Réseaux), a student organization providing IT support, web design, and community hosting to fellow students. I received a distinction for my associative involvement.
I co-founded Les Libristes Bigourdans, a local organization promoting open-source software. We run install parties, contribute to repair cafés, and give talks.
