Summary
Pascal Chen is an R&D Rust engineer with eight years of experience building performant, low-level systems and tooling across startups and research labs. Based in Toulouse, he has progressed from academic work in numerical simulation and mesh optimization to applied roles in cybersecurity and production Rust engineering at Rainbows App, Parsec, and now De Shagan Network. He combines a strong mathematics background from Sorbonne with hands-on electronics and systems instincts, often bridging theory and implementation in performance-critical code. Pascal’s internship at Thales and research stint in Gran Canaria highlight his comfort with rigorous evaluation and experimental design alongside product development. He maintains a personal engineering site (engineer.devling.net) and describes himself as equally passionate about computers, electronics, and math—an inclination that shows in his focus on reliability and optimization. Fluent in French environments and experienced in both academic and commercial settings, he brings analytical rigor and practical Rust expertise to complex R&D problems.
