Sebastien Mizrahi is a seasoned software engineer and entrepreneur with 13 years of experience building embedded, mobile and backend systems and recently co-founding GEOfast.fr. He combines hands-on C++ and Python development with project leadership, having led teams and architecture work for companies like KERANOVA and V3D and delivered an open-source home automation hub (smarties.io). His contributions to the SOGo groupware project show attention to security and interoperability, adding password recovery and XSS protections across backend and SQL components. Comfortable across the stack—from low-level C/C++ modules and iOS SDKs to Python-based services and CI pipelines—he also brings experience in mobility project management and quality assurance. Based in Chaponost, France, he pairs academic training in informatique et statistiques décisionnelles with a pragmatic, product-focused approach. A practical tinkerer, he often bridges embedded constraints and cloud-enabled features to ship reliable, secure systems.

SOGo is a very fast and scalable modern collaboration suite (groupware). It offers calendaring, address book management, and a full-featured Webmail client along with resource sharing and permission handling. It also makes use of documented standards (IMAP, CalDAV, CardDAV, etc.) and thereby provides native connectivity (without plugins) to many clients such as Microsoft Outlook, Apple iCal, the iPhone, Mozilla Lightning, and a plethora of mobile devices.
