François Leparoux is a technical lead and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building products from embedded firmware to cloud-native web apps, currently leading engineering at Pluxee in Paris. He specializes in turning early ideas into fast, pragmatic MVPs, pairing Node.js backends and React/Vue frontends with Docker/Kubernetes infrastructure and mobile or desktop front-ends when needed. His background in embedded systems (ESP32, STM32, Raspberry Pi) and contributions to the popular portapack-mayhem HackRF firmware demonstrate a hands-on IoT and RF-hacking expertise that informs his system-level design choices. A seasoned mentor who collaborates closely with QA, product and design, he excels at delivering cohesive teams and production-ready features. Outside work he blends hardware hobbies—3D printing and RF experimentation—with endurance sports, a combination that reflects a practical, iterative approach to problem solving.

Contributions summary:François contributed to the custom firmware for the HackRF + PortaPack, primarily focusing on the user interface and file management functionalities within the application. They added a load button in the scanner UI to load frequency files, implemented file hiding in frequency managers, and updated the scanner application to save new frequencies into the user-loaded frequency file. These modifications included file handling, UI element integration, and logic within the radio frequency application.
