Alexandre Daubois is a hands-on CTO and Symfony core team member with a decade of experience building high-performance PHP applications and leading engineering teams from startup to enterprise contexts. Based in Lyon, he combines deep open-source contributions—such as modernizing Symfony Serializer and Console components and maintaining FrankenPHP—with practical leadership across roles at Les-Tilleuls.coop, Decathlon Travel, Wanadev and SensioLabs. He has a strong track record in performance-sensitive projects, CI/CD, DevOps and developer training, having architected high-traffic Symfony systems and introduced testing and observability patterns. Equally comfortable writing documentation as code, he improves developer experience by contributing both code and docs to widely used Symfony repos. Colleagues benefit from his blend of technical rigor and UX-minded thinking borne from earlier roles in front-end and UX modernization.
