Summary
Benjamin Touchard is a freelance technical architect and builder with 12 years of experience helping startups and scale-ups go from idea to product, often acting as part-time CTO to define architecture, recruit teams, and pilot development. He is hands-on across Go backends, Vue.js frontends, PostgreSQL and containerized infra (Docker, Traefik), and has led security- and compliance-sensitive deployments for digital health products. Benjamin also designs and ships pragmatic tools—open-source projects like Ackify (cryptographic read receipts), Maintenant (Docker monitoring) and SHM (privacy-first telemetry)—that reveal his focus on auditable, privacy-minded systems. Based in Bordeaux, he combines product-level thinking with operational rigor (CI/CD, observability, infra migrations) and a knack for replacing SaaS with maintainable self-hosted alternatives.
