Who I am, what I do, and why I do it.
I'm Axel Gouriou, a French engineer specializing in electronics and embedded systems security.
I design embedded systems with an attacker's mindset and audit them with an engineer's understanding.
Based in Brittany, France. During the week, I work at my full-time engineering role. On the side, I'm available as a freelance for part-time missions, security audits, and consulting. Fully remote.
When I have free time, you'll find me hunting bugs on HackerOne.
Challenges are what drive me. The harder the target, the more interesting it gets.
