Durant ma troisième année d'études, j'ai approfondi le monde des systèmes embarqués et des technologies de l'information, explorant les subtilités de la conception et du développement de solutions embarquées efficaces et fiables. Au cours de ma deuxième année, j'ai axé mes études sur l'automatisation et l'Internet des Objets (IoT), apprenant à exploiter la technologie pour créer des systèmes intelligents et interconnectés. Au-delà de mon cursus académique, j'ai activement participé à des activités parascolaires à l'ENSEA, ce qui a contribué à développer mes compétences en leadership et en organisation.
