Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJulien Herr is a pragmatic CTO and senior software engineer with 12 years of experience building and modernizing back-end systems for the EV charging and SaaS domains from Strasbourg. He combines hands-on development (Kotlin, Java, PHP, Node/TypeScript, Spring, NestJS) with systems architecture and ops, having led legacy refactors, defined IT/OPS strategy and implemented OCPI and third-party integrations. As CTO of Borne Recharge and former VP of Engineering at Nabu.io he balances product roadmap, outsourcing, and team coaching while managing up to three juniors or alternants. An active open-source contributor, he has improved the widely used TestNG testing framework (Guice injection support, Java7 upgrades and tests), reflecting a taste for robust developer tooling. He is comfortable across the stack—from database and APIs to supervision UIs—and often takes ownership of both technical vision and day-to-day administration. Colleagues describe him as entrepreneurial, quality-driven, and focused on tangible user impact.
