Stéphane Garagnani is a pragmatic CTO and entrepreneur with 11 years of full-stack engineering experience, currently leading technology at Edulib and co-founding Arbitryum from Paris. He began in C/C++ and Java, built cross-platform mobile apps with a shared native C++ core, and has repeatedly re-architected infrastructure and stacks—most recently migrating MongoDB to Postgres and cutting infrastructure costs by 90% while tripling operational efficiency. A hands-on leader who recruits and runs small, high-performing teams, he blends product sense with deep engineering (Ruby on Rails, Rollup/ES6 modernizations) and has contributed to the prominent Active Admin Rails project. Comfortable switching between low-level systems and strategic roadmaps, Stéphane often surfaces efficiency gains others miss and favors pragmatic, cost-effective technical decisions.
