FABIEN POLLY
Cyber Director & CISO // Independent Researcher // Creative Tech // SkaterMy journey started as an Ethical Hacker, breaking systems to understand them... Eighteen years later I am on the other side of the table: former French Navy submariner (Golden Ear, acoustic analyst on nuclear attack submarines), then cybersecurity lead on submarine combat systems, then CISO for defense, nuclear research, national energy operators and health data. Today I keep my executive role as Cyber Director & CISO while pushing Quantum AI & Post-Quantum Security as an Independent Researcher, in collaboration with the University of Oxford.
"I protect nuclear secrets by day and build digital consciousness by night."
Career Journey
Independent Researcher

Featured Projects See all repos
// OFFENSIVE SECURITY
Bjorn
Autonomous pentesting platform for Raspberry Pi, driven by a Tamagotchi-like character: network reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery and attack automation. 6K+ stars on GitHub.
// SELF-HOSTED AI AGENT
LaRuche
Agent node written in Rust: hardened ReAct engine, cognitive memory with git time travel, a supervisor reviewing the agent own work, and a mesh to federate several hives on a LAN.
// WORLD MODELS
FluidWorld
Transformer-free world model: reaction-diffusion dynamics used as the predictive substrate, linear complexity instead of quadratic attention. Published on arXiv.
// ROBOTICS RESEARCH
Recursive VLA
Vision-Language-Action models for robotics built on tiny recursive networks, sized to run without a GPU farm.
// ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Paradigm
Orchestrated AI system that coordinates specialized LLMs to solve reasoning tasks, closer to a team than to a single model.
// 3D ENVIRONMENT ART
Immersive Worlds
Real-time 3D environments built with Unreal Engine 5 and Blender. Lighting, mood and storytelling.
