Welcome 2 my burrow

Helloo I'm Francois (aka fr4nsyz), a computer science student based in Canada focused on systems and security engineering.

Currently a Software Engineering Intern at IBM, where I work on threat detection and response pipelines and security-related infrastructure.

I like working close to the machine, i.e. network programming, operating systems, and distributed systems. Most of my projects revolve around building things that move data securely and efficiently.

Technologies I frequently work with include Go, Rust, TypeScript, and C++ when I'm feeling masochistic.

Outside of coursework and actual work, I spend time building and experimenting with:

• encrypted file services
• steganography tooling
• threat detection pipelines
• networking and protocol experiments
• the occasional IoT hardware project

This site is where I keep notes, write about projects, and document things I learn along the way.

If you're interested in collaborating or just want to talk about systems or security, feel free to reach out!
