Summary
Édouard Mercier is a senior software engineer and two-time founder with 15+ years of experience building SaaS products, leading engineering teams, and shipping acquisitions. He blends product-minded technical leadership with hands-on implementation—able to zoom from strategic requirements and UX/DX design down to architecture, APIs, and core code. His entrepreneurial track record includes founding Motionly (patented UX SaaS, acquired by Ogury) and co-founding Smart&Soft (also acquired), and he’s led integrations and productization post-acquisition. Technically fluent across GCP, TypeScript/React, Java/Node, and Python, he now explores generative AI tooling (ComfyUI, LoRA training) alongside cloud-native engineering. A former financial front-office developer and NP-complete problem solver, he retains a deep computer-science foundation and a lifelong coding practice that fuels creative problem solving. Colocated in Paris, he pairs rigorous engineering discipline with a persistent obsession for usable, engaging user experiences.
