Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolThomas Citharel is a versatile software leader with 12 years of experience, currently serving as Directeur at Framasoft where he rose through roles from developer to co-director and project lead. He combines full-stack engineering chops—contributing to high-profile open-source projects like Nextcloud, ownCloud, Mastodon and Wallabag—with product and community stewardship in the free culture and digital education space. Comfortable across back-end, front-end and mobile (Android), his work spans CalDAV/Collaboration features, export tooling, accessibility fixes and documentation, showing attention to both scalability and user experience. Based in Nantes, he pairs technical fluency in PHP/JS and system integration with hands-on project management and localization efforts, and often bridges code, docs and community support in the same commit. An understated strength is his habit of improving edge cases—public sharing, deletion logic and export flows—that materially raise platform reliability for end users.
