Summary
Félix-étienne Trépanier is a Co-founder and CTO with 15 years of experience designing, building, and operating systems ranging from large-scale distributed services to progressive web apps. Based in Montreal, he blends hands-on engineering (Java, Scala, distributed systems) with product-minded leadership, helping teams improve predictability, speed, and quality through pragmatic processes. He co-founded Arrivage to empower small-scale farmers, consults as Functional Object, and teaches advanced web programming at UQAM, showing a rare mix of startup grit, advisory breadth, and academic engagement.

Notably, he frames software delivery as a human-centered engineering discipline and often intervenes where development methodologies break down.
