Senior🎓
Top SchoolGuillermo Ochoa is a seasoned technology leader and CTO with over 20 years in tech and more than 15 years in executive technical roles, currently leading Placeloop’s decade-long evolution in Paris. He builds and scales SaaS platforms end-to-end—moving monoliths to microservices, introducing CQRS/Kafka pipelines, and integrating AI-driven features—while managing teams of 10–30+ engineers and coordinating freelancers and R&D funding. A founder-turned-architect, he brings hands-on distributed-systems experience from In-Memory datagrids and Lucene querying to complex SOA orchestration and transactional consistency in telecoms. He pairs technical depth (Java, TypeScript, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Debezium, Elasticsearch) with product-driven execution, optimizing costs, compliance, and fundraising strategy. Notably, he has steered GDPR/security programs and secured French R&D tax credits to accelerate AI initiatives, reflecting a pragmatic blend of engineering, finance, and operational leadership.
