Laurent Goudet is a seasoned technology leader and CTO at Freelancer.com, guiding the technical direction of an 80M-user SaaS marketplace from Bordeaux with deep hands-on experience in building and operating large-scale, AWS-based distributed systems. Over 12+ years he has moved from embedded engineering to leading platform architecture, launching mobile-first SPAs, in-house payment and email infrastructures, and maintaining a diverse polyglot stack (PHP/Python/Node/Go) across thousands of EC2 instances. He balances firefighting, security and compliance with strategic initiatives like adopting Capacitor for native apps and piloting GenAI integrations, while still contributing to open-source tooling such as SystemJS Builder. Known for pragmatic trade-offs (opting out of EKS for their use case) and delivering measurable UX and cost improvements, he also recruits and mentors global teams across Sydney and London. Educated at ESIEE Paris with a year at Harvey Mudd, Laurent combines embedded-systems rigor with cloud-native operational discipline.
