Anthony Catel is a seasoned software engineer and serial founder with 17 years of experience building high-performance rendering engines, real-time web infrastructure, and consumer marketplaces. As Co-Founder & CEO of minipouce he blends deep systems-level expertise with product instincts to serve 120k+ parents via a catalog-driven marketplace and crowdfunding platform. His background includes pioneering work on APE (an early Comet/WebSocket server), leading R&D for large ad platforms, and shipping a C++-based 2D vector engine for the Web at InVision after nidium was acquired. Comfortable across C/C++, Go, Python, JS and modern frontends, he excels at low-level network and graphics programming while also shipping polished consumer experiences. An underappreciated thread through his career is consistently bridging browser-grade engine work with practical productization, turning complex rendering and realtime tech into usable, scalable products.
