Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Ochem is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and infrastructure specialist with 15 years of experience building and operating large-scale dev/test and cloud-native systems across networking, quantum, and blockchain domains. Based in San Francisco, he blends network engineering roots with hands-on CI/CD, Linux appliance design, and R&D lab orchestration—having rebuilt quantum cloud services at Rigetti and led global infra for Nuage Networks. A founder of a non-custodial staking-as-a-service startup, he pairs product-minded entrepreneurialism with deep operational rigor. He contributes to open-source orchestration projects such as an XMPP-based orchestrator (Archipel) where he focuses on refactoring and long-term code quality. Known for driving consensus in multi-site teams, he favors incremental change that aligns with long-term goals while keeping systems auditable and secure. An avid experimenter, he continuously explores emerging architectures and proof-of-stake platforms beyond typical enterprise stacks.
