Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolSylvain Pace is a founding engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building scalable, production-grade web and backend systems across startups and YC-backed ventures. He specializes in TypeScript/Node ecosystems (NestJS, serverless, Kubernetes) and has driven architecture, APIs and observability for products in health tech, analytics and search. At Algolia he scaled DocSearch infrastructure to handle thousands of daily crawls and later at Modjo and Zoī he combined backend services with React frontends, video processing, and payment/CRM integrations. Comfortable owning DevOps and product-facing responsibilities, he pairs Clean Architecture and data-driven decisions with practical CI/CD and monitoring practices. Known for shipping both open-source tooling and customer-facing systems, he also brings a curious hardware-to-cloud background from early IoT and production-system projects. Based in France, he blends founder-level ownership with deep implementation skills across the full stack.
