Nicolas Maurice is a Senior AI Architect Consultant and pragmatic technical leader with 11+ years building and shipping production-grade systems across blockchain, ML, backend and cloud-native infrastructure. Educated at École Polytechnique and NUS in applied mathematics and statistics, he combines rigorous research roots with hands-on engineering—authoring protocol-level changes (Go-Ethereum forks) and designing ZK-EVM proving pipelines as well as institutional staking protocols used by major custodians. He has repeatedly moved between founding CTO roles and senior product-aligned consultancy, scaling teams, defining roadmaps and stepping into product management when needed. Deep expertise in Golang/Python, microservices, Kubernetes, Terraform and Ethereum internals lets him own solutions from protocol to cloud orchestration. Notably, he built zk-pig and a custom Merkle Patricia Tree fork to enable near real-time block proofs—an example of his appetite for low-level protocol work that bridges research and operability. Based in Paris, he thrives in high-stakes, cross-functional environments delivering auditable, secure systems for institutional clients.
