Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMathieu Lacage is a research engineer and seasoned distributed-systems architect with 16 years of experience building scalable, secure infrastructure and production software from kernel drivers to p2p storage and Small Language Models. He co-founded and served as CTO at a fast-growing startup where he led engineering, enforced data-at-rest encryption and scaled systems through sustained 50% YoY growth (with 1000% peak spikes). At Hive he architected a libp2p-based storage system, improving reliability twofold and scaling it 100x by resolving network and IO bottlenecks and designing dynamic forward error correction. Now at Inria he focuses on making domain-specific Small Language Models practical—building training/logging frameworks and training models up to 3B parameters while investigating convergence failures. A PhD-trained researcher with deep open-source and academic collaborations, he combines hands-on debugging instincts with product-minded engineering and a track record of turning research prototypes into robust, tested systems.
