François Billioud is a seasoned engineering leader and founder with 11 years of experience building inclusive, cross-platform applications and embedded systems from Lille, France. As CTO and co-founder of Cantoo he pushes the limits of TypeScript, React-Native and React-Native-Web to deliver accessibility-focused products that combine speech recognition, synthesis, AI and phonetics. Previously he led full-stack development and agile teams for the social robot Cutii and created MathEOS, an assistive authoring tool that makes complex math notation and real-time classroom sharing accessible to students with disabilities. Trained at École Centrale de Lille and comfortable across Swing, Node.js and front-end stacks, he pairs deep hands-on coding with product-minded technical strategy. Notably, his career blends robotics, edtech and cloud-native UI work—showing a rare ability to move complex algorithms from prototype to classroom-ready software.
