Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJulien Salinas is a hands-on CTO and AI specialist with nine years of experience building and scaling production NLP and generative-AI platforms from Grenoble, France. As CTO of NLP Cloud he architects privacy-first AI APIs, multi-GPU/TPU deployments, and automated fine-tuning and inference pipelines using Go, Python, FastAPI, vLLM and Triton, while optimizing model inference with advanced techniques like quantization, KV-cache and speculative inference. He combines full-stack engineering (API gateways, Django/Vue fine-tuning UIs, token streaming in Go) with product and business leadership—recruiting teams, shaping roadmaps, managing cloud costs, and securing partnerships with Nvidia and AWS. Previously he led Go-based web crawling and NLP projects at Hunter.io and built end-to-end data platforms earlier in his career, giving him deep operational experience across Kubernetes, GCP, and observability. Unusually for a CTO, he’s also a French boxing instructor, reflecting a practical, disciplined approach to team leadership and problem solving.
