Top SchoolPierre-gilles Leymarie is a founder and core maintainer with 11 years of hands-on experience building scalable, user-focused systems, best known for creating Gladys Assistant, an open-source home automation platform used by over 40,000 people worldwide. Based in Montpellier, he combines backend engineering expertise (Node.js, PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, Docker) with operational know-how—CI/CD, multi-datacenter replication and substantial performance tuning—to deliver reliable services at scale. He led backend architecture at BulldozAIR, where he implemented microservices, caching strategies that improved API performance up to 10x, and spent time in the San Francisco YC ecosystem. Comfortable from low-level robotics projects to full-stack distributed systems, he blends an engineer’s attention to performance with a product-driven vision for intelligent home assistants. An entrepreneurial open-source maintainer, he focuses on practical automation that anticipates user needs (think Jarvis-like routines) while growing a global community around his project.
