Summary
Richard Capraro is a seasoned technology leader and CTO based in Nîmes with nearly 30 years of professional experience and over a decade in senior engineering leadership. He specializes in transforming legacy monoliths into service-oriented, API-driven platforms and has led end-to-end initiatives spanning architecture governance, security, CI/CD, and internal developer platforms. Comfortable both as an architect and hands-on tech lead, he has delivered solutions across insurance, hydrology, and data platforms using Java/Kotlin, Scala, Rust, Go, Kubernetes, Kafka and modern cloud tooling. He builds high-performing engineering cultures through mentoring, measurable practices and close product partnerships to balance time-to-value with compliance and reliability. A pragmatic polyglot, he couples deep systems knowledge (from Oracle/HP‑UX to cloud-native stacks) with recent work in LLMs and RAG patterns, showing an appetite for cutting-edge AI integrations. Colleague-facing and execution-focused, he repeatedly turns complex domain constraints into operational, well-instrumented software platforms.
