Hugo Fontaine

Hugo Fontaine was born in Rennes, where he spent most of his early years. His passion for computers comes from video games and their seemingly endless applications. In addition to his ability to spend an infinite amount of time in front of his computer getting his code to work, Hugo is a keen cyclist who has been cycling on the road for 10 years at regional level. After completing a “classe préparatoire aux grandes écoles” at the Lycée Chateaubriand in Rennes, he joined Télécom Paris, where he now devotes his time to the study of cryptography and embedded systems. He draws his motivation from his thirst to understand the world and become an expert in the field of hardware cybersecurity, an ambition that stems from his passion for mathematics, computer science and the adrenaline rush of discovering a flaw.
