Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolBoris Faure is a Principal Engineer based in Paris with 20 years of experience building and leading software teams in the computer software industry, most recently driving architecture and delivery at Scality. A longtime open-source maintainer and the lead developer of the Terminology terminal emulator, he blends deep systems programming in C, Rust, and Erlang with practical embedded/IoT work (notably contributions to the embassy-rs Rust embedded framework). He has risen through technical and managerial ranks—from hands-on software engineer to Director of Engineering—while keeping coding and mentorship central to his practice. With an MSc in Computer Science from ISIMA, Boris is equally comfortable refactoring low-level USB HID stacks and designing team processes that scale, and he actively explores Rust and Zig projects in his spare time.
