Alexandre Lacheze is a founder-in-residence and seasoned software engineer with 14 years of experience based in Paris, blending startup momentum with deep technical craftsmanship. Trained at Telecom ParisTech and EURECOM, he moves comfortably between systems-level C++ work and high-level JavaScript/Node.js, contributing to high-profile open-source projects like Electron and Sequelize. His OSS contributions show a pragmatic attention to cross-platform compatibility and DB edge cases—improving SQLite boolean mapping in Sequelize and extending web content and extension APIs in Electron. He also brings practical DevOps and QA experience, having built cross-browser CI pipelines and automated tests for Moment.js. Comfortable in both product and infrastructure domains, Alexandre combines entrepreneurial instincts from a Y Combinator cohort with a methodical engineering foundation rooted in French grande école training.
