Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBastien Vaucher is a Staff Software Engineer with 16 years of experience building and leading Ruby on Rails projects, now based in Copenhagen and currently at Be My Eyes after a long tenure at Zendesk. He specializes in backend engineering—API design, RESTful services, and robust test suites—while maintaining strong hands-on JavaScript and front-end skills from early full-stack roles. Bastien has a track record of designing reusable libraries and integrations, shipping InDesign extensions, WordPress plugins, and background algorithms for high-traffic apps. He pairs pragmatic engineering with mentoring and peer review practices cultivated in small agile teams and large product organizations. Fluent in multiple languages and steeped in European engineering culture, he brings a thoughtful, reliability-first approach to product-focused systems. A detail not obvious from titles: he has repeatedly built tooling and gems to streamline teams’ workflows, reflecting a bias toward developer productivity as much as product delivery.
