Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolLoïc Tosser is a pragmatic C-level engineer and serial founder with 12+ years delivering resilient, automated infrastructure and CI/CD at startups and scale-ups from Dubai to global cloud providers. As CTO and Co-Founder at Kalvad and former CTO/VP roles, he blends hands-on systems programming (Go, C, Python), deep FreeBSD/Linux administration and SRE practices to cut costs, raise SLA and ship faster. He’s equally fluent in QA automation and observability—building testing pipelines, metrics/KPIs and alerting stacks across ELK, TICK and Datadog—and has repeatedly reorganized teams to embed automation and developer happiness. An active contributor to DevOps tooling, he enhanced security and Slack notifications for the semaphore UI project, reflecting his focus on practical integrations that improve operations. Not obviously typical for an exec, he still prefers kernel-adjacent platforms like FreeBSD and maintains a “PG forever” affinity for PostgreSQL.
