Romain Salles is a seasoned engineering leader and cofounder/CTO with a decade of experience building and scaling mobile-first products from Paris. He specializes in Ruby on Rails and JavaScript, and has repeatedly led migrations from monoliths to microservices while keeping rapid feature delivery—most recently at Purchasely, where he focuses on maximizing in-app purchase revenue. Previously he led engineering at Stootie and built core platforms and mobile apps at Shopmium, pairing hands-on development with team leadership and operations on AWS. Comfortable across the stack, he combines backend robustness (Postgres, Redis, ECS) with front-end and mobile experience, and has a track record of shipping international launches and mentoring distributed teams. Known for pragmatic architecture decisions, he brings startup grit and a developer-first approach rooted in formal engineering training from Grenoble.
