About

One engineer, three playing fields

Cybersecurity, development and infrastructure: three ways of solving the same problem — building systems you can trust.

My name is Zacharie Igor Tene Fogang. My path began in Cameroon, where I earned a scientific baccalaureate with highest honours before joining the preparatory classes and then the engineering cycle at the National Advanced School of Engineering of Yaoundé.

That is where a double-degree opportunity with ENSEEIHT (Toulouse INP) opened up. I came to France to seize it: I joined directly in the 2nd year (M1) in software systems engineering, then the 3rd year (M2) in the TLS-SEC (Toulouse Sécurité) major — a demanding cybersecurity program jointly run by ENSEEIHT, INSA Toulouse and ENAC.

Across my internships — fullstack development, distributed backends, then securing infrastructure in production — I realised what truly drives me is the link between these worlds: writing solid code, understanding how it runs at the lowest level, and protecting it.

I defend my final-year project in September 2026 and I'm available from then on. I'm looking to put this threefold skill set at the service of teams building serious things, without ever forgetting that behind every system, there are people.

What guides me

Rigour and method

Diagnose before acting, document, and leave a clean, understandable system for whoever comes next.

Technical curiosity

Look under the hood, because you only secure well what you truly understand.

Team first

Autonomous when facing a problem, but convinced we go further together and by listening.

Adaptability and proactivity

Adapting to a new context, stack or team, and staying proactive — contributing ideas along the way.
