About

I'm Laurent KPESSOU N. VOGNITO, a student in Embedded Systems & IoT at IFRI, Université d'Abomey-Calavi. I got my Baccalauréat série C with Mention Très-Bien in 2024.

I'm passionate about low-level programming and the intersection of hardware and software security. I build things that work at every layer — from assembly to web APIs.

"Security is not a product, it's a process — and it starts at the hardware level."

Outside coding: reading, chess, basketball, and of course — CTFs.
