Pascal Bourguignon is a pragmatic LISP consultant and polyglot engineer with 16+ years building compilers, tooling, embedded RTOS (ESP32), Linux kernel drivers and cross-platform apps for macOS, iOS and Android. He pairs systems-level expertise (Linux kernel modules, device drivers, real‑time data collectors) with higher-level work in Common Lisp, AI/knowledge representation and project architecture, having led R&D teams and founded startups. His career includes porting and hardening critical code—such as adding smartcard support to FreeRDP—and modernizing build and test systems across gcc/clang toolchains. Comfortable from specification and system design to shipping prototypes and production, he routinely bridges hardware, backend and client stacks. Based in Île‑de‑France, he brings an unusual blend of vintage language mastery (LISP) and practical modern engineering across embedded, mobile and server domains.
