Summary
François Laroche is a senior Scala developer with over 13 years of JVM-focused experience, today building high-throughput systems at NuMind after leading platform rewrites and teams at Make.org. He specializes in middle-office problems (routing, intermediation) and data processing at scale, with practical expertise in Spark, machine learning pipelines, Akka, Kafka and distributed datastores. François pairs deep application development skills with platform-level tuning—JVM configuration, thread control and capacity diagnostics—to ensure predictable performance under load. He has hands-on experience designing and automating deployments for production-grade architectures and running load tests with Gatling to guide improvements. Comfortable as both lead developer and technical architect, he has repeatedly rebuilt platforms from scratch and trained teams to adopt scalable patterns. Based near Paris, he blends pragmatic engineering with a focus on observability and resilience that often reveals bottlenecks others miss.
