Maxime Hilaire is a Founder and Tech Lead with 11 years of experience building and optimizing large-scale Digital Asset and Media Asset Management systems, currently based in Austin, Texas. He combines hands-on engineering—Java backend contributions to the popular open-source Nuxeo platform and full-stack builds using Node.js, React, MongoDB and Elasticsearch—with strategic DAM FinOps expertise to cut licensing and storage costs while improving ROI. Maxime has led projects managing millions of assets and petabytes of data for media and enterprise customers, and architected a high-throughput membership/search platform that handles hundreds of concurrent sessions with sub-250ms response times. He’s equally comfortable refactoring core directory services and migrating tests in open-source repos as he is designing analytics pipelines on AWS EMR to drive data-driven license tiering. Known for turning complex DAM requirements into practical, cost-conscious solutions, he blends developer-level technical depth with a founder’s focus on measurable business outcomes.
