Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenoît Chantre is a Technical Lead and WordPress specialist with 13 years of experience building bespoke themes, automating deployments and modernising development practices from Geneva. He combines a visual communication background with hands-on engineering—shaping block themes, CI/CD pipelines and tooling that industrialise workflows and reduce errors. At BuxumLunic he leads technical supervision, workflow improvements and documentation while remaining an active contributor to project development and maintenance. His open-source contributions include DevOps scripting for 10up's widely used WP Local Docker and front-end fixes for the wprig theme, reflecting a blend of automation and pixel-level front-end care. Fluent in multilingual site delivery and migrations, he’s equally comfortable optimising performance as he is mentoring teams on modern WordPress standards. A former graphic designer, he brings a design-minded attention to detail rarely found in engineering-focused leads.
