Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBertrand Gervais is a seasoned GIS software leader and founder with over a decade of hands-on experience building web and geospatial solutions, now CEO of SOMEWARE and co-founder of Handimap. He specializes in walkability and accessibility mapping, routing APIs for pedestrians and people with reduced mobility, and end-to-end geographic data lifecycles from production to public communication. His background spans R&D roles at Dassault Systèmes’ Archivideo and engineering leadership at ForCity, giving him deep expertise in large-scale 3D globe systems, ETL tooling, and performance-sensitive backend architectures. Comfortable both as a developer and technical advisor, he routinely blends auditing, algorithmic shortest-path work, and UX-aware mapping components. Based in the Rennes area, he combines academic training in computer imaging with a pragmatic freelance pedigree that favors remote collaboration and rapid prototyping. Less obvious: he couples civic-minded accessibility audits (PAVE & CNIG) with product-grade APIs, making inclusive routing a repeatable, industrialized service.
