Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolRomain Francois is a versatile software engineer and team lead with over 15 years of commercial experience and more than a decade in hands-on product delivery, currently leading engineering at TradingView from London. He combines deep embedded and front-end expertise from set-top box and TV UI projects with modern web tooling—contributing React examples to the popular lightweight-charts library—while driving faster delivery through prototypes, CI and pragmatic architectural decisions. A certified ScrumMaster and agile advocate, he has repeatedly cut delivery time and costs (including a 6-month feature acceleration and £/€10k+ annual AWS savings) by rethinking where functionality belongs in the stack. Known for mentoring newcomers, improving test coverage quarter-on-quarter, and “code gardening” legacy systems, he blends strong communication and hands-on coding to turn complex product requirements into maintainable, high-quality software.
