Summary

Senior🎓
Top SchoolJean-françois Duval is an engineer and part-time faculty with 13 years of experience designing high-reliability mechatronic systems, from exoskeletons and prosthetics to electric vehicles and humanoid robots. As Dephy’s co-founder and CTO he led embedded systems, power electronics, battery engineering and DevOps for hardware-in-the-loop testing, and later moved into consulting to help early-stage teams solve multidisciplinary problems. Trained at Université de Sherbrooke and MIT’s Media Lab, he combines deep hands-on firmware/PCB expertise (PSoC/STM32, mixed-signal design) with product and company-building experience. He brings a pragmatic, systems-level intuition honed by racing bikes and building prototypes that bridges electrical, mechanical and software domains. Now based in Vermont, he focuses on high-impact early-stage projects where tightly integrated engineering can accelerate real-world deployment. A lifelong maker, he’s equally comfortable sketching a circuit, writing a control loop, or mentoring students in electricity and electronics.
