👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPierre-selim Huard is a Functional Software Architect with 20 years of experience building data-driven products and architectures for aviation, currently shaping OpenAirlines’ technical and functional roadmap from Toulouse. He led R&D and product for the company’s analytics platform, grew it from a small team to an 85-person operation with >€10M ARR, and created consulting and product offerings that closed the loop between customer insights and software. His work spans building scalable cloud-native systems (including a proprietary black-box decoder) and migrating data platforms toward serverless technologies and modern BI engines like ClickHouse. With a PhD-focused background in drone planning and AI plus early contributions to the notable open-source Paparazzi UAV project, he blends academic rigor with hands-on backend development. He also moves between roles—product owner, head of product/science, interim head of customer success—demonstrating rare fluency across engineering, product and customer delivery. Not obviously, he spends evenings contributing to Wikimedia, reflecting a broader commitment to open knowledge and community-driven projects.
