Michael Derrien is a Senior Go developer and founder with 11 years of experience building fullstack Go/React systems for both startups and large enterprises. He has led migrations from monolithic Python to Go microservices at Back Market, modernized critical internal tools at OVHcloud, and shipped a commercial advertising simulation used daily at TF1. Comfortable across backend, frontend and infra, he focuses on idiomatic Go, OpenAPI-driven APIs, reliability (observability, replayable streams) and pragmatic engineering that aligns with business users. As founder of VargTech he blends product-facing discovery with hands-on delivery, often joining teams as a lead developer to raise engineering maturity. Notably, his work spans embedded and cyber-training R&D to cloud-scale pub/sub and Kafka integrations, giving him an uncommon cross-domain view on systems reliability and data flow. Based in the Nantes area, he maintains open-source projects and community tooling related to incident hunting and operational tooling.
