Summary
Guillaume Alaux is a senior Clojure(Script) engineer based in Brussels with 15 years of experience building backend and full-stack systems, microservices, and data pipelines for startups and scale-ups. He combines practical distributed-systems design with hands-on DevOps—writing infrastructure as code, CI/CD, alerting and on-call operations—to reliably move projects from architecture to production. Comfortable across front-end (Re-frame, React/React Native) and backend (Datomic, Kafka, HoneySQL) stacks, he favors KISS, well-tested code, atomic commits and clear documentation. His background includes leading backend chapters and modernizing platforms with TypeScript/Node.js, Terraform and GitOps, plus deep experience in streaming and event-driven systems. Outside of paid roles he prototypes mobile and GraphQL systems, showing a habit of continuous learning and pragmatic experimentation.
