Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Trangez is a seasoned software engineer with 20 years’ experience building cloud-native, storage and distributed systems, most recently serving as Principal Architect at Scality where he led architecture and shaped next-generation Kubernetes-based products like MetalK8s. A programming polyglot and active open-source contributor, he has made substantive back-end contributions to projects such as GHC and the widely used Haskell conduit streaming library, and improved core storage components in OpenStack Swift. He combines hands-on systems engineering (networking, runtime fixes, syscall bindings) with leadership of engineering architects and cross-company product strategy. Based in Belgium but often in Paris, he’s equally at home speaking at conferences, mentoring standards groups (SODA Foundation), and rebuilding critical infrastructure for enterprise on-prem deployments. Not obvious from titles: he has deep low-level expertise in runtime and networking internals that underpins his higher-level platform designs.
