Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrançois Reynaud is a seasoned software engineer and managing partner with 15 years of experience building scalable, open-source driven automation for e-commerce and large enterprises from Zurich. He co-founded Element34 and led engineering efforts that commercialized on-prem Selenium Grid infrastructure, while earlier pioneering mobile automation at eBay by creating and open-sourcing ios-driver to scale iOS testing. A long-time Selenium core committer, François has deep expertise in distributed testing architectures and reliability improvements (notably Grid2/node self-healing work) and continues to lead the ios-driver community. He combines hands-on backend Java development and system design with a passion for automation and engineering innovation, and regularly works with distributed international teams. Not obvious from titles: he has a track record of turning internal test infrastructure into production-grade open-source products used across enterprises.
