Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFrançois Mazeau is a software engineer with nine years’ experience building high-performance systems, most recently contributing to Datadog’s Application Security Monitoring and instrumenting runtime protections in production. He has deep experience with low-level and GPU-accelerated software from roles at NVIDIA (CUDA debugger) and earlier work on multithreaded image processing, and he contributed security-focused features to widely used open-source projects like Datadog’s Go tracing library and agent. Based in Montpellier, he blends backend and application security expertise with a practical systems background (C/C++, Go, CUDA), and now operates as a freelance engineer. Outside work he’s a self-described “GPU lover” and music addict, a hint at both technical curiosity and creative balance.
