Jonathan Pichot is a product-focused full-stack engineer and principal with 13 years of experience designing and shipping digital services for governments, startups, and enterprise clients across Europe and the U.S. He blends hands-on development (Ruby, JS, PostGIS/MapboxGL) with product management and data engineering to drive government digital transformation and civic tech initiatives. A civic-tech pioneer who founded one of the earliest Code for America brigades in 2012, he has led incubators and product teams that moved agencies toward user-centered roadmaps and modern stacks. Based in Paris, he now leads technical and product work for urban-focused organizations while also advising EU tech efforts, reflecting a sustained focus on cities and public data. Pragmatic and skeptical about tech for tech’s sake, he pairs urbanist sensibilities with a track record of turning spatial data and prototypes into policy-facing tools.
