Top SchoolMartin Tourneboeuf is a software pentester with 11 years of hands-on experience blending low-level security research, reverse engineering, and software testing across observatories, defense, and commercial labs. Trained as a physicist/astronomer at École Polytechnique and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, he brings a research-driven approach to vulnerability discovery and exploit analysis in C, assembly and shell environments. His work ranges from malware analysis at a national defense agency to validating complex scientific software at ALMA and contributing user-facing improvements to well-known open-source projects like jupyter_console and the popular vimwiki plugin. Comfortable across full-stack tooling and terminal-first workflows, he has improved async prompts, remote output handling, and editor link/table features that enhance developer productivity.
