Senior🎓
Top SchoolBastien Teinturier is a seasoned technology leader and Chief Technology Officer with 11 years of experience building high-performance distributed systems, currently leading engineering at ACINQ in Paris. He has deep expertise in Bitcoin scaling and the Lightning Network, contributing to core specifications and implementations in collaboration with Blockstream, Lightning Labs and the open-source community. His background spans backend systems at Microsoft, protocol and cryptography work at Stratumn, and hands-on engineering in Go and Rust, reflecting a strong foundation in scalable, secure networking. Bastien combines strategic leadership as CTO with continued hands-on development, moving from individual contributor roles to VP of Engineering and now executive technical stewardship. He holds elite French engineering training from École Polytechnique and Télécom Paris, and is known for tackling hard consensus and p2p problems that sit at the intersection of research and production. Less obvious: despite a brief foray into client-side C++ at Microsoft, he remains firmly a backend and distributed-systems specialist who prefers shaping protocol-level solutions.
