Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Bernard is a seasoned informatician and developer with 15 years of experience specializing in network and system programming, currently contributing at the Sénat in Paris. He combines low-level C expertise—demonstrated by substantive bug fixes and security-conscious refactors in well-known projects like libevent and miniupnp—with occasional web work in PHP and multi-device product experience from founding NetDevices. His open-source contributions show a pragmatic focus on portability, correctness, and protocol handling (IPv6 scope, HTTP parsing, buffer-overflow mitigations). As a former president of a software protection consultancy, he brings operational security perspective to engineering decisions. A retrocomputing enthusiast, he pairs curiosity about computing history with practical skills in modern networked systems.
