Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGilles Philippart is a seasoned software practice lead with 17 years of experience designing and delivering large-scale, event-driven microservices and real-time systems across finance and lending. He combines hands-on architecture and engineering leadership—shaping platforms that handle loan origination at scale and coordinating multi-site teams—with strong practices in DDD, TDD/BDD, CD and enterprise architecture governance. At Funding Circle he led the build of an automated instant decisioning and lending platform that now underpins the majority of origination volume, and at Confluent he focuses on practice-level impact for streaming architectures. Known for pragmatic, visual architecture communication and for establishing Chapters, RFC/ADR processes and risk registers, he helps organisations align technical choices with business outcomes. A regular conference speaker (GOTO, ClojuTre, DockerCon), he brings both deep technical craft and board-room experience from debuggers to governance. Based in Rennes, France, he often blends Clojure fluency with enterprise-grade Java/Cloud tooling to solve complex distributed-systems problems.
