Who I Am

I am a student in Mathematics and Computer Science at Université Laval. Over time, I have come to value intellectual freedom above all: the ability to explore, understand, and question ideas without being confined to a strictly utilitarian framework.

A significant part of my learning is self-directed. I progress driven by curiosity, often through trial and error, prioritizing depth of understanding over immediate results.

What I’m Interested In

📚

Self-Directed Learning

I enjoy learning independently, revisiting fundamentals, and building understanding step by step in both mathematics and computer science.

🧮

Mathematics

Mathematics is primarily a tool for structuring thought. I am particularly interested in algebra, numerical analysis, and formal methods.

🤖

Computer Science & Algorithms

I enjoy understanding how algorithms work at a fundamental level, their limitations, and how abstract ideas become concrete systems.

🌍

Languages & Cultures

I speak French, English, and Spanish, and I am currently studying Russian and German. Languages offer distinct perspectives on reasoning and ideas.

💭

Reflection & Philosophy

I am interested in questions related to knowledge, intellectual rigor, and the balance between ambition and self-understanding.

Cryptography Project

I am currently working on a personal cryptography project, focused on understanding the mathematical foundations of encryption mechanisms and their implementation.

The project follows a learning-oriented approach: analyzing assumptions, understanding limitations, and connecting theory with practice.
