Laurent Gilly is a pragmatic CTO and engineering leader with 11 years of experience building production-grade web and distributed systems across startups and large e‑commerce platforms. He has moved from hands-on software engineering to leading multi-disciplinary teams—driving architecture, delivery and developer workflows at companies like Veepee, ricardo.ch, AiVerse and MakeMusic. Comfortable across front-end (React, Typescript, Vue), back-end (Node, Go, C#) and DevOps (Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab), he often steps into code reviews and implementation when needed to unblock teams. Based in Antibes, he combines product-minded execution (shipping features that saved millions in stock losses) with a track record of taking projects from prototype to production and scaling cross-functional teams. Notably, he has repeatedly helped transform monoliths to microservices and has experience onboarding distributed freelance contributors into cohesive delivery.
