Guillaume Gautreau is a seasoned full-stack developer and engineering manager with 15 years of experience building and leading teams on Node.js, TypeScript, Java/C# and modern frontend frameworks. He has led platform and architecture work at Forest Admin—owning backend committee decisions, CI rollout, incident response and team processes—and now applies that blend of tech and people leadership at Locomotive. Guillaume pairs hands-on contributions to popular open-source projects (notably improving Bootstrap tooltips and enhancing Forest Admin tooling) with a strong background in search systems using Elasticsearch and relational databases. He excels at translating product priorities into pragmatic technical specs, T-shirt estimations and iterative delivery in remote-first teams. Colleagues rely on him for continuous improvement practices: recruiting, mentoring, retrospectives and automated testing pipelines. Beyond code, he brings a rare mix of optimization/algorithm experience and product-focused UX sensitivity from earlier roles in search and booking platforms.
