Summary
André Naz is a Principal Engineer with 12 years of experience designing and implementing robust backend systems, currently driving platform stability and solution architecture at Amadeus. He combines deep C++/Oracle expertise with DevOps practices (Openshift, CI/CD) and Python tooling to deliver customer-oriented, production-ready solutions. His background spans research and applied work in distributed embedded systems and modular robotics (PhD and postdoc), giving him a strong foundation in distributed protocols and real-time firmware migration. He regularly leads projects and knowledge-sharing initiatives, balancing deadlines with long-term platform health. Comfortable across the stack—from low-level firmware to large-scale backend services—he is particularly interested in applying AI/ML to next-generation R&D challenges. Based in the Greater Nice area, he brings a curious, research-informed mindset to pragmatic engineering problems.
