Who I am

Head of Platform & engineering leader

I'm Thibault,
Head of Platform &
engineering leader
based in France.

After a web & e-business master, where I graduated top of my class, I worked in very different environments: agencies, e-commerce, startups and fintech.

Curious by nature, I've touched many aspects of the job: backend and frontend development, SEO, server management, architecture, cloud, web3… This breadth gives me a holistic view of the systems I build.

Today, as Head of Platform at Mangopay, I focus on designing robust and scalable platforms, strengthening security and compliance, improving developer experience and supporting engineering teams.

My Skills & Abilities

Backend side of coding is what user cannot see. Backend side of coding is everything that concerned algorithm, logic and data persistence. I always was more interesting by backend development and its variety of possibilities.
