Romain Ricard is a cybersecurity consultant and pentester with a decade of experience and over seven years focused on offensive security and R&D. Based in France, he has led pentest teams at Hackuity and now operates as a freelance consultant, combining hands-on testing with tool development and advisory work. His background in software engineering and past roles building high-traffic web systems give him a strong full-stack perspective that informs pragmatic, secure solutions. He contributes to open-source projects—most recently improving the front-end of a popular unofficial Signal sticker gallery—demonstrating an interest in user-facing tooling and FOSS. Trained at INSA Lyon and Mines d'Alès with international study in the UK, he blends formal cybersecurity training with practical network and Infosec expertise. Colleagues value him for bridging deep technical analysis, team leadership, and clear, teachable guidance (he has even taught website security in an academic setting).
