Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Long is a senior full-stack engineer with 14 years of experience who combines deep computer-science fundamentals with hands-on delivery of web and distributed systems. Based in Marseille, he has led major migrations and architectural overhauls—most notably a zero-downtime move from PHP/MySQL to Django/Postgres—while also hiring and coaching engineering teams. Comfortable from C++/Qt desktop tooling to Python backend, JavaScript front-ends and async systems (Celery/RabbitMQ), he blends product instincts from CTO and founder roles with rigorous engineering practices. An active open-source contributor, he improved UI and automated testing for medical imaging toolkits (CTK/3D Slicer), showing attention to UX and testability in complex domains. He’s drawn to startups and innovation, and often surfaces early, demonstrable prototypes to align technical decisions with stakeholder feedback.
