Summary
Nicolas Schiper is an expert software engineer with 13 years of experience building scalable, fault-tolerant cloud services and data platforms, currently at Logitech in Lausanne. He has led design and delivery of OAuth2 and user-profile storage services on AWS that supported 10x user growth, and has shepherded ML model training platforms that track lineage and reproducibility. His background spans research-quality work on energy-efficient and correct-by-construction database replication to production systems at Google and Midokura, blending strong distributed-systems theory with pragmatic engineering. He regularly mentors new engineers, drives cloud architecture guidance across teams, and combines academic rigor (PhD-level research) with hands-on development in Scala, Node.js, and cloud-native stacks. An uncommon strength is his ability to translate replication and fault-tolerance research into robust, operational services used at scale.
