Summary
Romain Tourte is an embedded systems and IT engineer with nine years of multidisciplinary experience bridging Python and Node.js development, IoT data collection, and systems administration. Based in La Rochelle and active as founder of Tamata Ocean, he blends hands-on R&D—such as building a photo-bioreactor and restoring a 1972 sailboat for eco-autonomy—with product and project management in fablab and corporate settings. He currently drives embedded systems and IT initiatives at Data Is Open, having previously led IT operations at GERFI+ and managed FabLab activities at La Matière. Comfortable from Raspberry Pi prototypes to enterprise messaging platforms, he has a pragmatic low-tech sensibility that informs scalable, resource-conscious designs. Trained in telecoms and networks (Paris-Sud University), he pairs technical depth with an unusual focus on sustainable, autonomous systems.
