Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean-baptiste Assouad is an engineering manager and founder with 11 years of experience building high-performance web and systems software, currently leading engineering at Lixo while continuing to develop Pesto, a Rust-based PST file reader for archivists. He combines hands-on systems work (Rust, Tokio, Axum) with product design and data modeling experience gained as CTO at Examin, where he architected a legal/regulatory modeling platform used for multiple compliance frameworks. A serial entrepreneur and former public-sector technologist, he built Archifiltre during an EIG mission at Etalab—an open-source tool that accelerated archival processing from months to days and attracted hundreds of users. His background spans robotics, low-level systems, and web stacks (from ROS and C++ to TypeScript/React), giving him a rare ability to move between hardware-near prototyping and scalable web products. Known for shipping end-to-end products and hiring/coaching small teams, he also publishes technical articles and prototypes (e.g., Min-Max hashing POC and parametric CAD demos) that reflect a pragmatic, research-minded approach.
