Summary
Mael Besson is a seasoned consultant and trainer with 10 years of experience helping organizations adopt agile practices, software craftsmanship and inner-source/open-source strategies. Based in Paris, he combines hands-on full-stack engineering (Java, Spring Boot, React/Angular) with product and delivery roles—PO, SM and lead dev—on projects ranging from test automation tooling to SIM fleet management for large utilities and retail. He has a track record of seeding sustainable teams and practices: initiating Inner Source at Enedis, open-sourcing Chutney, and coaching juniors and POes in specification by example. Comfortable in research and feasibility work from his Inria background, he blends curiosity for new technologies with pragmatic architecture and project framing. Notably, he moves between hands-on implementation and organizational change, turning prototypes and PoCs into production-ready, well-documented systems.
