Romain Gomes — Software Engineer

I'm a Computer Science and Engineering student, currently studying at UTC (Université de Technologie de Compiègne), with a strong passion for low-level programming, cybersecurity, and graphics development.

My journey started in 2019 when I began learning C++. Since then, I've explored various domains from game development and 3D graphics to reverse engineering and CTF competitions. I enjoy understanding how things work under the hood and building projects from scratch.

Game Engine ECS, PhysX, OpenGL - custom 3D engine
Low-level & Reverse x86, IDA, Radare2, binary exploitation
Startup MVP Next.js, 42 - co-founded from piscine meet

Technologies I work with

C++ UML x86 Assembly OpenGL GLSL Assimp GLFW SFML PhysX Python React TypeScript Next.js Git CMake Docker JNI SQL Arduino Linux IDA Radare2 Qt Windows API Arduino Raspberry Pi Capacitor MongoDB AWS S3 Render Java (JNI) Catia numpy bash plotly
