Sacha Froment is a Lead Developer with 11 years building secure, scalable backend systems and infrastructure across startups and established tech firms, currently based in Paris. He combines hands-on Go development, DevOps and SRE experience—shipping microservices, high-throughput aggregators with Kafka, and cross-region Terraform-managed infrastructure—with a track record in mobile crypto-messaging (notably low-level OpenSSL work for the Berty secure P2P app). Sacha has led protocol and platform efforts at Topology.gg and driven uptime and integrations at Ortto and Adevinta, blending production reliability with continuous integration expertise. An early open-source core contributor (PrestaShop) and persistent OSS collaborator, he often straddles the boundary between product-facing features and deep systems plumbing. Pragmatic and curious, he’s comfortable patching C-level crypto issues one week and designing cross-region AWS architectures the next.
