Summary
Frédéric Basse is a software engineer with 15 years of experience specializing in security engineering across mobile, embedded and cloud-connected systems. He led cellular platform security at Qualcomm—design reviews, automated testing tools, and proof-of-concept exploits—after formative years in penetration testing, firmware analysis and incident response at Thales. Now freelancing, he blends Web2 (TypeScript), Web3 (Solidity) and ZKP (Circom) to build proof-of-personhood projects that bridge applied cryptography and practical engineering. His background includes hands-on reverse engineering of ARM/MIPS devices and developing defensive techniques informed by real exploit development. Based in the United States, he maintains a security blog that surfaces technical research and pragmatic recommendations. Colleagues would describe him as a pragmatic vulnerability hunter who translates deep technical findings into actionable security improvements.
