Summary
Damien Buty is a pragmatic lead technologist with 12 years of hands-on experience building and scaling early-stage ventures, frequently making high-impact technical decisions under tight resources and uncertainty. He excels on the Node.js/Typescript stack (React, Next, Prisma, GraphQL) and pairs that with practical Python skills for data engineering and LLM application work using LangChain, LlamaIndex and Vercel AI SDK. As an early engineer at Comet and Figures he shaped product-facing integrations, mentored juniors, and regularly bridged product, customer success and engineering to negotiate outcomes. He also brings solid CI/CD and DevOps experience from projects that dramatically reduced deploy times and cloud costs, and runs services automating processes for SMEs with applied AI. Comfortable in fully-remote settings since 2012, Damien combines a feral coder’s curiosity with startup pragmatism and a track record of turning prototypes into production features.
