Sébastien Laoût is a seasoned full-stack software engineer and tech lead based in Lille with 10+ years of experience delivering maintainable backend systems in Java (Spring, Quarkus) and performant frontends with TypeScript, Angular and Vue. He excels at turning complex search and data challenges into production-ready services—most recently rebuilding an ad server for Qwant with hybrid textual/vector search and ML integration to meet strict latency and scale targets. Known for promoting software craftsmanship, he leads teams through hands-on coaching, dojos and disciplined testing to reduce technical debt and improve operability. He also drives pragmatic cost-optimisations (database and platform migrations) and experiments with AI-driven content tools and prompt engineering to boost engagement. Colleagues value him as a bridge between business needs and technical solutions who pairs engineering rigor with curiosity for new stacks like Kotlin, Svelte and ML tooling.
