Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolGuilhem Charles is a software engineering leader based in Eindhoven with 7 years of experience building and operating large-scale CI and data infrastructure. He currently leads CI Infrastructure at Datadog after progressing through roles in CI execution and platform SRE, managing systems that run tens of millions of builds per month. His background spans high-throughput streaming, large-scale web scraping, and embedded/geo tooling, giving him a rare blend of systems, backend, and platform expertise. Known for a pragmatic, hands-on approach—tl;dr turning CI off and back on again—he pairs leadership with deep debugging instincts (while(fail){debug, code, swear,...}). He has a strong academic foundation in computer science and applied mathematics from Grenoble and KTH, and a track record of shipping performant, scalable systems across cloud-native and serverless environments. Colleagues rely on him to stabilise chaotic pipelines and turn observability into predictable delivery.
