Henry Fontanier is a software engineer based in Paris with a decade of experience building product-focused web applications and marketplaces. Currently at Dust, he brings a blend of startup grit and product sensibility from roles as a co-founder at Goosebump (YC S17) and engineering stints at Shotgun and Alan. He specializes in front-end work—demonstrated by contributions to the Showtime frontend where he improved discoverability and usability for digital collectibles and resolved subtle UI/web3 integration bugs. As a senior consultant he has delivered pragmatic engineering solutions for diverse clients, and his background in econometrics and computer science gives him a data-informed approach to product decisions. Colleagues describe him as a hands-on developer who moves quickly from prototypes to polished UX while keeping technical debt in check.
