Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBenoît Verkindt is a Senior Software Engineer with 11 years of experience, currently building platform-scale systems at Uber after recent roles focused on geospatial mapping and blockchain platforms. He brings deep technical experience shipping production services at startups and scale-ups, including Hivemapper and Chronicled, where he specialized in platform and blockchain engineering respectively. Comfortable across distributed systems, data-oriented engineering and cryptographic ledgers, he has repeatedly bridged research-minded implementations from exchange programs in Taiwan and Montréal into commercial products. Based in San Francisco, Benoît combines a European engineering education (EPF) with global exposure and a practical, hands-on approach to complex integrations. Notably, his trajectory shows a shift from audit and consulting early in his career toward solving infrastructure and trust-layer problems in real-world fleets and supply chains. Colleagues rely on him to move ambiguous, security-sensitive projects from prototype to production.
