Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Papillon is a generalist software engineer with 12 years of experience focused on functional programming, distributed systems, and backend architecture. He has led high-scale projects—working on chat and search systems serving millions of DAUs with strict latency targets—and co-founded a startup where he built a Rust/gRPC/Swift stack as CTO. Comfortable across Go, Rust, Scala and cloud-native tooling, he excels at designing auditable, realtime pipelines and moving systems from prototype to production. Based in Paris, he brings a mathematician’s rigor (MSc in AI) and a musician’s attention to nuance, often tackling the “math-ish” parts of products such as localization and analytics.
