Summary
Thierry Abaléa is a seasoned software leader and founder with 11 years of experience building high-performing engineering organizations and developer tools. As Co-founder & CEO of Shipfox he’s focused on halving CI times to remove developer wait-time and drive cost-efficient continuous delivery. Previously he scaled engineering from single digits to ~85 engineers at Alma and rebuilt teams and platforms at GitGuardian, Aircall and multiple startups, combining hands-on coding with strategic org design. He excels at reorganizing teams into product-aligned tribes, improving DORA and developer experience metrics, and negotiating vendor/infrastructure partnerships (AWS, GCP, OVH). A pragmatic practitioner of TDD, pair/mob programming and Domain-Driven Design, he still spends time coding and shipping platform improvements. Based in Paris with an engineering degree from ENIB and algorithm training from Stanford MOOCs, he blends deep technical craft with operational rigor and a founder’s urgency.
