Looking for an internship

Understand.Connect.Build.

I’m François de Gennaro, a computer science student in Mons, Belgium, focusing on networks and infrastructure.

The systems behind the interfaces. The packets behind the exchanges. And the code that connects them.

01 /Profile
Portrait of François de Gennaro
FRANÇOIS DE GENNARO · MONS, BE

Networks first. Curiosity everywhere.

Understanding what’s under the hood.

I’m in the second year of a bachelor’s degree in computer science at IPHLF in Mons. My direction: networking, system administration and infrastructure, with an interest in automation.

I like tracing a problem back to its underlying mechanism: reading a configuration, following an exchange, isolating a cause. Linux is my personal environment too, not just a classroom topic.

Java and SQL have taught me to structure applications and their data. During my internship, I want to bring that combination of infrastructure and development to a team.

02 /Skills

A networking foundation.
A toolkit around it.

Skills in progress, tied to actual practice. No arbitrary progress bars: here is what I work on and in which context.

01

Networks

IPv4/IPv6 addressing, subnetting, TCP/IP, Ethernet, DNS and DHCP. Fundamentals validated by CCST Networking; further study towards the CCNA.

  • IPv4 / IPv6
  • TCP/IP
  • DNS / DHCP
  • Cisco
Certification & study
02

Systems

Daily Arch Linux use, command-line work and SSH access between my machines. Gradually building a personal lab environment.

  • Linux
  • Bash
  • SSH
  • Git
Personal practice
03

Cloud

Deploying a VM and a container on Azure for a course assignment: SSH access, an HTTP rule in a network security group, and diagnosing deployment restrictions.

  • Azure VM
  • ACI
  • NSG
  • Docker
Hands-on assignment
04

Code & data

Object-oriented Java console applications, relational modelling, constraints, procedures and MariaDB triggers. Learning Python to extend my infrastructure work.

  • Java
  • SQL / MariaDB
  • HTML / CSS / JS
  • Python
Projects & learning
03 /Projects

Fewer promises.
More substance.

A network project in the design stage, academic applications and infrastructure experiments. Each project states what exists and what remains to be built.

MAIN PROJECT · DESIGN STAGE

NETWORKS / DIAGNOSTICS

Track, Flag
& Execute.

A tool for network administrators: represent a topology, trace a packet’s path, and understand why a test succeeds or fails.

  • Ethernet / IPv4
  • ARP
  • Static routing
  • UML
TFE / 2026–2027

From an exchange to an explanation.

  1. 01
    TRACK

    Trace devices and the path taken.

  2. 02
    FLAG

    Identify and explain points of failure.

  3. 03
    EXECUTE

    Run a test within a defined topology.

Project objectives · simulation engine still to be developed

DATABASE · ACADEMIC PROJECT

Palimpseste / SQL

Preserving text fragments, organising them and tracking their movements. A relational model, constraints and database-side logic.

  • MariaDB
  • SQL
  • Triggers
View source on GitHub

JAVA · CONSOLE APPLICATION

Le Dernier des Palimpsestes

An object-oriented application to manage fragments, collections, groups and feedback requests, with persistence through serialisation.

  • Java
  • POO
  • Serialisation
View source on GitHub

LINUX & AZURE · HANDS-ON WORK

From workstation to service

Connecting my machines through SSH and deploying on Azure. Two settings to put theory to the test with services, access and configuration errors.

  • Linux
  • SSH
  • Azure
04 /Lab

Fewer slides. A little practice.

Your turn.

A network calculator and a small challenge, built on the same JavaScript engine. Everything runs in your browser: no address is sent to a server.

05 /Contact

An internship. A team. Hands-on work.
