Summary
Sébastien Chagnon is a Senior Software Developer based in Montreal with 10 years of experience building secure, cloud-native systems across full-stack, embedded, and cryptographic domains. He holds a Master’s in Software Security (Cryptography) and blends hands-on implementation—ranging from JavaCard FIDO authenticators to Go services and Electron/React UIs—with architecture and CI/CD expertise. At Kelvin Zero he delivered a CTAP 2.1 WebAuthn smart card applet and contributed to low-level security fixes, and at Qohash he now focuses on protecting sensitive enterprise data flows. Comfortable moving between front-end, back-end, and kernel-level code, he also designs threat models and operational monitoring for production reliability. A proactive collaborator and former technical lead for cloud-deployed clinical research tools, he pairs pragmatic engineering with a continuous-learning mindset. Outside work he channels systems thinking into space exploration interests and endurance cycling, reflecting a taste for complex, long-term challenges.
