Benjamin Yvernault is an experienced software engineer and technical leader with 12 years of practice bridging medical image-processing research and full-stack web/DevOps engineering. Trained in computer science and image processing at CPE Lyon, he built high-throughput neuroimaging pipelines (notably contributing backend interfaces to the widely used Nipype project) and led XNAT/DAX deployments at Vanderbilt and UCL that processed tens of thousands of imaging sessions. More recently he transitioned to enterprise Java and microservices at Mirakl—leading a squad, driving database migrations, Kafka integrations and performance optimizations—before returning to Takima to shape developer best practices, Kubernetes/GitOps migration and people-first management. He combines deep domain knowledge in scientific computing with pragmatic production experience in cloud-native systems, mentoring managers and engineers alike. A global traveler who deliberately stepped back to reorient his career, he brings curiosity and a user-focused mindset to technical strategy and operational execution.
