David Marteau is a Director of IT Infrastructure and co-founder with 11+ years of experience building and operating GIS-focused software and server infrastructures from Greater Paris. With a PhD in physics and a background spanning theoretical and experimental work, he blends scientific rigor with hands-on engineering—specializing in GIS, scientific programming, and image processing. He co-founded 3Liz and InnoPhi and has led production-grade GIS deployments and containerized DevOps improvements for prominent open-source projects like QGIS and Lizmap. Known for translating demanding scientific requirements into robust, scalable systems, he also teaches image-processing automation and consults on technical project management. Less obvious: his career moves consistently bridge research-grade algorithms and practical web/server architectures, making him equally at home in R&D and production operations.
