Hello, my name is Michel Reyter
I'm a cybersecurity junior
I’m fascinated by the challenge of protecting digital spaces and uncovering vulnerabilities before they become threats. Currently, I’m honing my skills in coding, ethical hacking, and web exploitation.

About Me
I'm Michel Reyter, a cybersecurity junior
My career in IT started in 2020 when I received my diploma as a certified IT technician. I then tried to get my Bachelor of Science in game programming, with no success, however. Fortunately I discovered the field of cybersecurity and fell in love with it soon after. Hoping to continue and grow in that field, I am looking forward to expanding this section further as time goes on.

Education
2025 - 2026
Bachelor Networking & Telecommunication: Major in Cybersecurity
Following the 2 year program in Luxembourg, I graduated after an additional year at the IUT Nancy-Brabois in France for my Bachelor degree.
2023 - 2025
BTS Cybersecurity
Graduated in the field of Cybersecurity at the Lycée Guillaume Kroll, in Luxembourg with the highest honor and a GPA of 18.2/20.
2020 - 2023
B.Sc. Game design
Two of my greatest passions in life are video games and creating things. Therefore, I thought about pursuing a degree in it would be the smartest choice. At the Trier University of Applied Sciences, I tried and failed to achieve that, for various outside and inside factors. Though, I came out of it learning a lot about myself, the neighbouring countries, and a fresh outlook on life.
2016 - 2020
IT Technician (Second highest honor)
The start into the world of IT happened at the Lycée Guillaume Kroll, in Luxembourg, learning about general IT topics like networking, system administration, and web developement.
Experience
12/2025 - 07/2026
Apprenticeship at Proximus Luxembourg
My studies at the IUT Nancy-Brabois were a work-study programm, based on a predefined timetable I spent weeks at the University or at work. During this time, I worked in the Ethical Hacking department at the luxembourgish branch of Proximus. During this time I researched the most effective ways to crack passwords and developped a framework for the red team to use to aid in their assignments.

Exchange event: Kosova x Luxembourg
Another international exchange event I count myself lucky to participate in was on Europe day 2026. A handful of members of LetzPwn travelled to Kosova to exchange their CTF experience and participate in an Attack/Defense CTF.
2/02/2026 - 4/02/2026
Cyber Humanum Est (CHE) 2026
While studying at the IUT, we participated in a joint event with 5 other universities as well as the French military for a 3 day War game. We were split in 3 teams and had to defend our infrastructure from the other 2 as well as attack them.
6/10/2025 - 9/10/2025
European Cyber Security Challenge (ECSC) 2025
Being a member of the local CTF team LetzPwn comes with many unforgettable experiencess. One of which, after clearing the qualifier, was to go to Poland to represent Luxembourg in the ECSC. This 3 day CTF event had us working in a team of 10 against 39 international teams.
04/2025 - 06/2025
12 week internship at LuxConnect
Working for the luxembourg based datacenter company LuxConnect. Employee awareness through a phishing campaign and training with an LMS, D2D operations.
07/09/2024 - 16/09/2024
WorldSkills Lyon
The defining moment that solidified my interest in the field. Representing Luxembourg on a world-wide scale at the WorldSkills in Lyon. The competition days were 4 stressful days that had me cooperating with my teammates in an environment we both were not used to.

2nd place at LuxSkills 2024
One of my proudest moments: Winning second place at the national competition, earning me the right to participate at WorldSkills 2024.
06/01/2020 - 14/02/2020
Internship at the water administration
At my second internship, I had to do general maintenance on the infrastructure, build a website that follows the precipitation in the country, as well as develop a prototype for a surveillance system.
09/07/2018 - 27/07/2018
Internship at the Ministry of Environment
As my very first professional experience, I created website templates for them, updating and improving on their existing websites, and set up work-spaces as well as a file server.
Skills
Penetration testing
One of the skills I want to sharpen, for which I have done several TryHackMe rooms for.
Web exploitation
My fondest category during CTFs, one I created a special section in my homelab for as well.
System administration
Most of my studies have evolved around setting up and configuring networks and PCs of different Operating Systems
Python coding
During my free time, I like to program applications using Python. Some will be linked in my portfolio.
CTFs
One of the hobbys I spend most of my time on. With recent events showing promising results.
Writing
As a side hobby, I like to write. This, in turn leads to clean documentation and reports.
Portfolio
My Projects :
Portfolio website
This very website you are looking at! I always wanted to have more than just a simple CV, and through some research I found the perfect template. While my webdev skills aren't good enough to have come up with everything myself, I did code it myself and adjusted it where I saw fit.
The template I used.Homelab revisited
A newer version of my homelab. Now managing 3 different machines with different purposes. 2 raspberry pies that work together to bear the load of my self hosted instances and a repurposed mini-PC for applications available from the internet. I plan to add a diagram with the different services here in the near future.
AI homelab
In order to be able to use the power of AI without the privacy concerns attached, I set up an Ubuntu server on which I installed a local AI. Having a conversation with an AI on a terminal is not a pleasant UX, therefore, I integrated it with Open WebUI in a docker container on my raspberry pie. Not only do I get a "ChatGPT"-esque interface, managing the AI(s) is much easier that way.
NetworkChuck's tutorial
CompTIA pentest+ (TryHackMe)
The practical and theoretical training to pass the CompTIA pentest+ exam.
Ongoing projects:
Web Application Pentesting (TryHackMe)
Yet another THM learning path that I want to complete.
Cisco Certified Ethical Hacker
After all the THM rooms I started, I want to start and complete the CISCO EH learning path on netacad.
CCNA 200-301
As I'm already used to and earned some Cisco certifications, the logical next step is to get officially certified.
Certifications earned:
TryHackMe
Some of my noteworthy THM certificates:
CompTIA Pentest+Advent of Cyber 2024
Web Fundamentals
Jr Penetration Tester
Advent of Cyber 2023
