Antoine Desbordes is a Paris-based developer with 12 years of experience building scalable transportation and optimization systems, from open-source journey planners to commercial decision-support tools. He has deep C++, Rust and Python expertise developed at Canal TP, Qwant Research and EURODECISION, where he worked on routing, geocoding, vector tiles and complex optimization engines for clients like Air France. As a core contributor to Navitia and QwantMaps he focuses on routing algorithms, isochrones and API coherence, routinely fixing subtle bugs in production-grade C++ and Python code. Since 2018 he operates as a freelance developer and has contributed to France’s transport open data platform, blending research-grade algorithmic rigor with pragmatic API and system design. Notably, his background spans both academic stochastic optimization projects and large-scale mapping systems, giving him a rare cross-disciplinary perspective on spatial algorithms and production engineering.
