Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolRomain Revol is an engineering team lead with 14 years’ experience designing high-throughput distributed systems and analytics platforms, currently leading stream processing and event platform efforts at Datadog. He previously architected and evolved a reactive, columnar querying and correlation engine for Axway’s SaaS analytics, combining RxJava and Apache Flink to achieve scalable, low-latency processing. His background spans storage, bi-temporal data models, query processing and cloud deployment, with a consistent focus on turning complex data problems into production-ready platforms. Trained in distributed systems at KTH and information systems engineering in France, he blends rigorous academic foundations with hands-on product engineering. Colleagues describe him as a technical architect who moves fluidly between deep implementation details and team leadership. An unexpected detail: he has repeatedly led full-version rewrites of core engines, showing a willingness to redesign systems for long-term scalability rather than patchwork fixes.
