NOA LEGRAND

A 23-year-old software engineering student at 42 Paris, focused on systems programming and infrastructure security.

Most of what I build sits close to the system: shells, servers and tools in C, C++ and Rust, and the containers and infrastructure they run on. I learn best by building things from scratch.

I’m currently studying at 42 Paris towards an RNCP 7 (master’s equivalent). As part of the curriculum, I did a six-month internship in a cybersecurity team at Thales, building automation tooling, secure CI/CD workflows and a vulnerability-management platform.

Off the clock I run a homelab of 30+ self-hosted services, all in Docker, managed from Dockhand, exposed through Caddy and driven from tmux + Neovim. It covers photo backups (Immich), documents and notes (Paperless, SilverBullet), home automation (Home Assistant, Frigate), file sharing, monitoring (Uptime Kuma), and a handful of game servers (Minecraft, Factorio, Valheim).
