Summary
Bertrand Rigal is a builder and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience turning AI agents into practical growth tools for startups and scale-ups. Former CTO of two startups, he now designs and deploys custom agentic AI solutions that automate Meta/TikTok ads, UGC campaigns, social management and advanced PDF pipelines for over 25 clients. He combines hands-on engineering (TypeScript, Node, React, Docker, AWS) with product-minded architecture and technical recruiting experience, having led teams from 3 to 7 engineers. Notably, he packages AI power directly into Claude-driven workflows and sovereign, custom stacks like Mastra.ai or n8n integrations. A proven mentor and educator (mentored 100+ students at OpenClassrooms), he scores 5/5 on Malt and prefers pragmatic, production-ready systems over academic proofs-of-concept. Based in France, he’s completing Berkeley’s Agentic AI bootcamp, sharpening agent orchestration skills that underpin his current work at LoopAds and 1xBuild.
