## In two words
I’m a passionate guy. Passionate about
- Computer Science: [I’ve got a post Ph. D. degree in Computer Science](http://yann.esposito.free.fr/recherche.php).
- Programming: [I developed two scientific apps](http://yann.esposito.free.fr/logiciels.php), [two Mac screen savers](/YBlog/Softwares.html),
- Computer Security: [I designed a secure web protocol (similar to TOR)](http://yann.esposito.free.fr/enseignement/rez0.php#projet), [a method to securely remember strong passwords](/YBlog/Computer/Entries/2008/7/30_Easy,_secure_and_portable_password_management_system.html) ([programmed a dashboard widget](/YBlog/YPassword.html) and a shell script to use this method).
But before all, I love to learn. For example, I learned many programming languages: `C`, `C++`, `Objective-C`, `Python`, `Java`, `Perl`, `awk`, `bash`, `zsh`, `LaTeX`, `Metapost`, `camL`... And I’ve got the same passion about computer science research, computer security, philosophy and many other things.

## My little story
I had my Ph. D degree in Computer Science in december 2004 at the LIF (Marseille). During the 3 years of my formation, not only I made my research but I also teach computer science and programming to University degree students. I also developed a program to experiment my theoretical results.
Then I had a post Ph. D. Degree position in the Hubert Curien Laboratory at St-Etienne. My mission consisted to develop a scientific application (SEDiL). This application should be used by biologist and should have a simple and nice user interface.
Today I work for AirFrance(c) via Astek. This job need many differents skills, CMS and Web technologies, Perl, JSP, meta-programming...
