Senior🎓
Top SchoolThomas Poinsot is a problem-driven technology leader and founder with 12 years of experience blending hands-on software engineering, AI product work, and startup leadership. Currently co-founding an AI-for-renewables startup and advising/engineering AI products at PALINDROM, he moves fluidly between building prototypes, leading engineering teams, and shaping business strategy. He previously built and scaled Covariant’s European Solutions organisation from zero to 15 people, combining robotics, ML, and field deployment expertise with pre- and post-sales technical leadership. A biologist-turned-software engineer, Thomas keeps one foot in research-grade thinking—early lab experience informs his rigorous approach to modelling and data—and the other in production, with recent production code and Rust algorithm contributions. He’s hired and mentored teams up to 30+, thrives on learning new skills to solve hard problems, and prefers engagements where technical depth meets measurable impact.
