Fabien Catteau is a Staff Software Developer with 12 years of backend experience, currently building security products and CI/CD security checks at GitLab. He is a polyglot engineer whose day-to-day languages are Go and SQL, with deep fluency in Ruby and a particular enthusiasm for PostgreSQL. Fabien has led backend architectures at startups and scale-ups, turning monoliths into microservices and treating SQL views and functions with the same rigor as application code. His career blends pragmatic product-focused engineering—video platforms, dependency/security monitoring—with research-led problem solving from an early INRIA project. Based in Compiègne, France, he combines hands-on implementation, testing culture, and system design at scale. Colleagues would note his knack for making databases first-class citizens in service architectures and for shipping reliable security tooling in CI pipelines.
