Senior🎓
Top SchoolLucas Verdonk is an engineering manager at Datadog with 11 years of experience building scalable distributed systems and data platforms. He previously founded and led CIBLER as CTO, launching AI- and GPT-powered promotion, loyalty and travel-planning products and marketplaces that served real-world commercial and municipal use cases. Early career roles at Cdiscount and Inria sharpened his expertise in high-throughput catalog synchronization and scalable graph simulation tools, respectively, giving him strong foundations in systems engineering and research-driven optimization. Based in Paris, he blends hands-on implementation skills with product-minded leadership, iterating from prototype to production across backend, data and automation stacks. A constant learner who jokes about being replaceable by LLMs, he actually leverages AI pragmatically to accelerate product features like voucher delivery and travel planning. He’s comfortable both shipping code and scaling teams, with a track record of turning complex domain needs into practical, deployable systems.
