Summary
Bertrand Caron is a Principal Software Engineer and former CTO/co-founder with 12 years of experience building cloud-native, full‑stack systems that turn complex data into usable products. He has led engineering teams and shipped production mobile and web investing platforms (React Native, Next/React, AWS Serverless) focused on sustainable finance, and currently drives architecture and delivery at Cascade with GraphQL, Node.js and React. His background includes designing large-scale geospatial data pipelines at Fugro and scaling a high-traffic scientific service during a PhD in Computational Biochemistry, where he refactored legacy systems, implemented REST APIs and grew the user base fivefold. Comfortable shifting between hands-on development and technical leadership, he combines strong algorithmic/problem-solving skills (graph theory, ILP, optimisation) with practical experience in cloud architecture and data engineering. Outside work he’s an avid outdoor enthusiast based in Queensland, bringing the same long-distance endurance to engineering challenges as to cycling and hiking.
