Fräntz Miccoli is a hands-on CTO and operator with 13 years of experience building fintech and consumer products from idea to market, currently serving as COO–CTO and co-founder of Nexvia in Luxembourg. He blends product, brand and growth sensibilities with deep technical execution across React, Laravel, Docker and AWS, often owning anything users touch before adviser interactions. A pragmatic engineer and mentor, he has run operations, compliance-facing SaaS, automation and ML/data projects while participating in Y Combinator’s Startup School. Fräntz is also an active open-source contributor—his work on PHPOffice/PhpSpreadsheet improved Excel-compatible lookup functions and test coverage, surfacing a focus on correctness and edge-case behavior. He has founded and scaled multiple startups, taught data- and innovation-focused seminars, and holds engineering and business master’s credentials that inform both strategy and execution. Notably, he pairs product marketing instincts with low-level implementation skills, meaning brand decisions and CI/CD pipelines are equally familiar territory.
