Experience

1. Orange Business

   Aug. 2024 – Present
   Solutions & Pre-Sales Engineer Paris, France
   • Bid Engineering: Contributed to 4 Tier-1 banking & insurance RFP responses, translating client infrastructure and security requirements into connectivity architecture, costing, and alignment with Product Owners and deployment teams.
   • Azure ExpressRoute & Security: Designed zero-Internet private connectivity from a bank’s on-prem site to Azure Italy North; chose direct ExpressRoute over vWAN (per-hub cost unjustified for two sites) and specified Palo Alto VM-Series inspection.
   • SD-WAN & Satellite Integration: Co-designed LEO satellite backup for international branches of a 3,500+ site Cisco SD-WAN: LEO over GEO for latency, OneWeb over Starlink to limit third-party concentration risk (DORA).
   • BGP & Anti-DDoS Diagnosis: Early diagnosis on a live DDoS incident on a real-time payment service: the scrubbing /24 never reached on-net routers (partial routing tables), so attack traffic followed the /18 by longest-prefix match and bypassed anti-DDoS; it fed the operator’s response.
   • Production Automation (Go): Built and deployed a standalone Go CLI automating fiber address qualification (SSO/JWT-authenticated, headless): 300+ requests processed in under 5 minutes instead of 3 days; in production, presented to 80+ engineers.
   • Enterprise AI Tooling (MCP & Go): Built a prototype connecting Orange’s internal AI assistant to a legacy client-data tool: client architecture retrieved in under 20 s instead of a manual, screen-by-screen search; browserless corporate SSO sign-in (NTLM/SAML) and an MCP server with a designed access model. User pilot starting.

2. Orange Services

   May 2025 – July 2025
   Software Engineer, iOS (Intern) Bucharest, Romania
   • Accelerated development cycles: Implemented a "Demo Mode" with a mocked data API, enabling production-like journeys independent of backend availability.

Projects & Hackathons

1. LLM x Law Hackathon (Stanford Law × Mistral AI, selective admission)

   Oct. 2026
   Paris, France

   Team project: A-Kamil/Lexora

   • Lexora: Built the team’s first working prototype of a WhatsApp intake assistant for criminal-defense firms (team of 4): voice notes transcribed with Voxtral, documents read by OCR, every agent action recorded in a tamper-evident HMAC-chained log.

2. Agent Control Point – Deterministic Governance for AI Agents (MCP)

   Sept. 2026 – Present

   Public lab: AguenonN/secu-mcp · Talk accepted: AWS User Group Paris (2027)

   • Engineered a public zero-trust gateway between AI agents and their tools: limits what a compromised or prompt-injected agent can do (demo blocks 4 attack attempts); implemented SPIFFE/SPIRE workload identity (mTLS), human approval for sensitive actions, tamper-evident hash-chained audit log; k3s lab with e2e tests.

3. leVPN – Multi-Region Forward Proxy

   May 2026

   GitHub: AguenonN/levpn

   • Developed a public Go forward proxy (HTTP CONNECT over TLS 443) with a reusable Terraform module for one-flag multi-region AWS rollouts; served 20+ users and 11,800+ encrypted connections for under $20/month.
