Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolAlexandre Jacquemot is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building high-throughput, reliable coordination and logging systems across Datadog’s intake, storage, and orchestration stacks. Based in New York after a long tenure in Paris, he specializes in backend infrastructure, observability, and performance optimization—skills evidenced by contributions to widely used open-source Datadog projects that improved batching, retry logic, and network performance for serverless log pipelines. He moves confidently between hands-on coding, testing core components, and DevOps-oriented improvements, making systems more resilient and efficient. A curious and proactive problem-solver, Alexandre has repeatedly taken on cross-cutting challenges from logs intake to shard orchestration. His engineering approach blends academic grounding in microelectronics and computer security with practical experience at scale, and he often surfaces subtle reliability wins that aren’t obvious from feature lists alone.
