Stephane Valaeys is an automation-driven software engineer and administrator based in Geneva with 11 years of professional experience building user-centric tools, primarily on the modular open-source ERP Odoo. His career spans high-pressure finance roles—where he designed and ran algorithmic, high-frequency trading systems that executed large live orders—to leading development and maintenance of multi-client accounting and management platforms at FIEF. Unusually, he is often both a developer and end user of his systems, which drives a strong focus on ergonomics, trust, and operational resilience. Trained in electrical engineering at EPFL (with an exchange at ETH Zürich), he combines rigorous technical foundations with a practical, listening-led product approach to turn complex client workflows into elegant automated solutions.
