Hippolyte Durix is a hands-on CTO and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building cloud-native, enterprise-grade applications from France’s Lyon region. He brings deep craftsmanship—TDD, DDD and hexagonal architecture—to roles ranging from tech lead and coach to CTO, previously driving platform and feature teams at Ippon Technologies and now leading Fairplayer. A long-time contributor to the well-known JHipster ecosystem, he has improved end-to-end tests, added JWT and TypeScript support, and helped make JHipster Lite more REST-compliant, showing a knack for both developer experience and API design. Comfortable across Java, Spring, Node.js, Vue/React/Angular and modern cloud stacks (AWS, OpenShift, Keycloak), he pairs pragmatic engineering with developer coaching and internal community building. Beyond code, he’s active in technical evangelism—conference talks, blog posts, katas—and has applied his skills to social initiatives like digital schoolrooms in Africa.
