Simon Sarazin is a seasoned tech entrepreneur and contributor with 14 years of experience focused on building and sustaining digital commons and collaborative infrastructures from Lille, France. As an "entrepreneur salarié" at Opteos he combines cooperative business practices with shared tooling and services, while independently contributing to multiple commons projects and third‑place initiatives since 2011. His background includes coordinating development for a multilingual, Wikipedia‑like social innovation platform and managing IT for French economic missions in the Caribbean, showing both technical depth and international project delivery. Comfortable at the intersection of community-driven open source, civic tech and cooperative models, he brings a pragmatic maker’s mindset to systems that prioritize collective benefit over proprietary control. An engineer trained at Telecom Lille, he pairs formal telecom/IT training with long-standing grassroots engagement, making him as effective in governance and community coordination as in technical implementation.
