Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolClément Renaud is a protocol engineer and multidisciplinary researcher with 15+ years building open-source tooling, smart contracts, and data-visualisation systems at the intersection of technology, design and urban studies. Holder of a PhD from Télécom Paris, he combines deep humanities training with hands-on engineering—authoring Solidity work on the notable Unlock Protocol and maintaining web toolkits like Topogram. He has lived and worked extensively in China, producing postdoctoral research on makers and the tech geography of Shenzhen while teaching at institutions from EPFL to Sciences Po. As an independent R&D practitioner and advisor, he helps governments, NGOs and companies translate complex socio-technical questions into deployable systems and narratives. His practice blends anthropology of writing techniques, the history of computing in the Pearl River Delta, and practical protocol security—an unusual mix that informs both creative collectives and production-grade blockchain code.
