Mathieu Richardoz is a Senior Backend Developer based in Paris with 14 years of experience building high-traffic web platforms, specializing in Python and Django. He combines production-grade engineering—testing, code reviews, documentation—and Linux ops know-how to deliver scalable, performant backends using PostgreSQL, Redis and cloud platforms like Heroku and AWS. His career spans enterprise and startup environments, from long freelance engagements with media and e‑commerce clients to backend roles at Epic Games and Nielsen Norman Group, giving him a pragmatic sense of architectural trade-offs. A hands-on mentor and technical lead, he values coaching and clean practices, and maintains a strong interest in open source and systems-level performance tuning. An understated strength is his history of operating heavily loaded systems (Skyrock, large media sites), which informs his practical approach to reliability and traffic management.
