I'm Pierre-Louis Lefèvre, also known as Kirato in the development and gaming communities. After a bachelor's in computer technology at Ephec, I'm now doing a master's in cybersecurity at ULB. My journey in tech isn't just academic: I'm constantly immersing myself in hands-on projects and exploring new technological frontiers.
Whether it's building custom PCs, developing web applications or diving into cybersecurity challenges, I believe in learning by doing. This hands-on approach keeps pushing me further in a field that never stops moving.
Working as a penetration tester or security consultant once I've completed my master's.
Education
Bachelor in Computer Technology
Ephec, Louvain-la-Neuve · 2022 – 2025, including a three-month internship at BNP Paribas Asset Management. Bachelor's thesis: FaceX, attendance by face recognition.
Master in Cybersecurity
ULB, Brussels, with UCLouvain and UNamur · 2025 – 2028, starting with a bridge year.
Experience
- Game Master, Zero Latency VR, Waterloo · since March 2026: welcoming customers, briefing them and launching their free-roam VR sessions, making sure they enjoy the experience right to the end.
- Technical Office, BNP Paribas Asset Management, Brussels · internship February – May 2025, then a summer job in August 2025
- Rewrote a PowerShell script in Python, faster and compatible with every environment: it lists all the IBM Cloud virtual server instances and their specs in an Excel file
- Wrote a script spotting unused or empty Cloud Object Storage, so it could be decommissioned to free up budget; it also revealed buckets deleted by hand in IBM Cloud but still listed by the internal API, which led to a targeted cleanup
- Wrote and improved Ansible playbooks (Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, versioned on GitLab), including one that deletes obsolete components from a JSON list for a security cleanup
- Handled 84 toolchain tickets on ServiceNow: access to Azure DevOps, SonarQube, Nexus IQ, JFrog and Fortify, project setup, and more specific cloud issues; documented the cases the playbooks didn't cover and the admin rights procedure on Confluence
- Barista, Kawa Club, FOX Food Market, Watermael-Boitsfort · since June 2023: coffee, customer service and teamwork at peak hours.
