Summary
👤
SeniorFrançois Desvallées is a former 25-year software engineer and manager who transitioned into bespoke woodworking and furniture restoration, founding Atelier Desvallees in 2020. He combines deep systems and protocol knowledge—from leading phone OS integration at Texas Instruments to contributing a robust driver for the popular indilib/indi telescope project—with hands-on craftsmanship learned at Don Bosco and local restoration workshops. Fluent in French and English (and conversational in Italian and German), he bridges technical precision and artisanal design, applying debugging rigor to joinery and restoration. Now based in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, he leverages his background in embedded communications and large-team software delivery to execute custom furniture projects with an engineer’s attention to detail and an artisan’s eye for finish.
