Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolLucas Pluvinage is a backend-focused software engineer with 13 years of experience building efficient systems and tooling, from unikernels to social applications. A long-time contributor to the OCaml ecosystem, he has improved core projects like OCaml, Dune and MirageOS—notably migrating MirageOS build infrastructure to Dune and extending build-system features. His career blends systems-level craftsmanship (compiler and runtime work, ESP32 porting) with practical backend work at amo, and occasional mobile experiments in Swift and Kotlin. Based in Paris and trained at École normale supérieure, he favors simple, performant designs inspired by his hands-on interest in electronics and transistors.
