I’m Alexandre De Dommelin, most people call me Alex. I’m the Co-Founder and CTO of Panop, where we help organizations figure out what their external attack surface really looks like. You can’t defend what you don’t know you have.

Twenty-plus years in IT security. My days go into building and protecting large, high-traffic systems; my nights go the other way, breaking things to understand how attackers actually think. The two sides sharpen each other, and I’d rather work with people who hold both.

The fastest paths to reach me, plus a few notes on what each is for.

channels

Email: write to hello _at_ tuxz.org (replace _at_ with @ before sending). If the obfuscation trips you up, hit me on LinkedIn instead.
LinkedIn: Alexandre De Dommelin. Professional networking and conference chatter. I check it weekly.
GitHub: @a2dom. Open-source work, mostly forks and small tools.

what i read

I do read cold emails. I do not read cold pitches that open with “I’d love to pick your brain.” Tell me what you want, in one paragraph, and I’ll either answer or not.

hello, tuxz.org

A new home on the web. What this site is, what it isn’t, and what I’ll put here.

My AI assistant: terminal build partner + Telegram fast-capture surface. Part of the Human 3.0 bet.

A snapshot of what I’m focused on right now. Not a CV, not a roadmap, just the current weight on my time. Inspired by nownownow.com.

work

Panop: building the product. The bet hasn’t changed. You can’t defend what you don’t know you have, so the platform keeps working on that gap.
AI depth: pairing fundamentals with the applied offensive-research side. One without the other is brittle.
Human 3.0: the lens through which the rest of this makes sense. Treating the AI assistant as a build partner, not a tool: a peer that sits in the terminal and on Telegram, takes work off my plate, and pushes back when the evidence warrants it. The bet isn’t that AI replaces the work; it’s that the work gets sharper when I stop carrying it alone.

consuming

Podcasts in my daily rotation. The three keep the offensive, technical, and adjacent-thinking muscles warm.
