Arnaud Bailly is a Senior Quantitative Developer with 16 years of experience blending functional programming, distributed systems and finance to design robust, production-grade platforms. He has led architecture and R&D efforts at Input Output and Cardano Foundation, applying formal methods (Agda) and Haskell/Rust prototyping to scale blockchain algorithms. Comfortable both as an individual contributor and team lead, he champions XP practices, TDD and collective code ownership to grow effective engineering teams. A prolific Haskell practitioner and contributor to projects like servant—where he improved client extensibility and code quality—he pairs deep type-driven design with pragmatic Java and systems engineering. Based in Nantes, he brings a rare mix of academic rigor (PhD in Computer Science) and hands-on startup and fintech execution, having co-founded and CTO’d multiple ventures. Expect a leader who moves smoothly between formal specification, benchmark-driven prototyping and operational delivery.
