Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFrançois Terrier is a seasoned software engineer and technical lead with 15 years of experience building and guiding teams across startups, NGOs and global firms, currently contributing to Google in Zurich. He has a strong track record delivering complex distributed backends, event-sourced systems and legacy modernizations for clients in financial services, government and large retail. Comfortable switching between hands-on engineering and stakeholder-facing roles, he has scaled teams from small squads to 18 developers and led high-impact projects used by hundreds of health facilities and national retailers. Equally at home mentoring local engineers in low-resource contexts and championing CI/CD and TDD practices, he brings both operational rigor and product-minded pragmatism. His background in formal methods from ETH Zürich and early work on safety-critical systems gives him an uncommon grounding in correctness for real-world production software.
