Hello, I'm Bruno 👋
I’m a software engineer, with a background that mixes academic research and startup environments. Over the years, I’ve worked on a range of projects, from research prototypes to production software used in real-world settings.
I spent three years in Natural Language Processing research at the University of Strasbourg, where I worked on coreference resolution for French. This involved data annotation, linguistic analysis, and fine-tuning early transformer-based models (LLM) such as BERT. My work led to several peer-reviewed scientific papers and open-source research tools.
After that, I moved into industry and joined B2B cybersecurity startups. At Cogiceo, I built internal tools and worked on a SaaS product for automated analysis of Android applications. At Mantra, I developed systems for real-time email analysis to detect phishing attacks.
I mostly work with Python and TypeScript / React, and I pay a lot of attention to writing clean, maintainable, and well-tested code. I’m comfortable working across the stack, from backend services to user-facing features.
I enjoy working on projects where there is room to explore, experiment, and refine how things are built.
Outside of work, I enjoy building open-source tools and side projects, sometimes very practical, sometimes more exploratory.

Relevant work experience
I lead a small international team developing a new cybersecurity training product. My role covers system design, backend and frontend development, and infrastructure. I’m responsible for architectural decisions, data models, and delivery, and I remain hands-on across the stack.
The product is built with Python and FastAPI on the backend, TypeScript and React on the frontend, and runs on Google Cloud Platform with infrastructure defined as code.
As an early engineer on a phishing detection product, I worked on real-time systems analyzing millions of emails per day. I focused mainly on backend services, event-driven architectures, and clean, well-tested code, while also contributing to frontend features when needed.
LangTrackApp is a research-oriented platform based on the Experience Sampling Method, designed to study language learning and usage outside the classroom.
I designed and developed the entire system: a web application for researchers to create surveys and analyze results, mobile applications (Android & iOS) for participants, and a backend coordinating scheduling, notifications, and data collection.
The system supports push notifications, email and SMS reminders, and is deployed on Google Cloud Platform using managed services and serverless components.
At Cogiceo, a cybersecurity consulting company, I was the only full-time developer. I built and maintained several internal tools as well as a B2B SaaS platform for automated security analysis of Android applications.
I worked as a researcher in natural language processing, focusing on coreference resolution. My work combined linguistic analysis and machine learning, including fine-tuning early transformer-based models for French. I published several scientific papers and developed open-source research tools.
Alongside research, I also taught programming and linguistics courses at university level.
