Adrien Mahieux is a seasoned CTO and systems expert with 13+ years delivering resilient, high-performance infrastructure for finance, automotive, telecom and other critical environments. He blends deep kernel- and hardware-level knowledge (CPU, NUMA, RDMA, FPGA) with pragmatic production engineering—optimizing systems without compromising security or maintainability. Adrien has led teams to restructure networks and systems at scale (vxlan, Ceph, Proxmox, VDI/GPU) and driven monitoring and observability work, contributing notable back-end and C-level improvements to the widely used Netdata project. He also enhances developer-facing tooling and UX, improving flamegraph visualization for easier performance analysis. Comfortable switching between hands-on C/kernel work and strategic architecture, he frames “whole-stack” thinking that spans hardware to legal/compliance concerns. Based in Paris, he’s passionate about anticipating failures, simplifying complexity, and delivering operational solutions that fit real business needs.
