Summary
Tristan Duquesne is a CTO and co-founder with nine years of hands-on experience building data engineering, federation, and analytics platforms from first principles. Based in France, he blends deep mathematical research (applied category theory, TDA, Morse-inspired algorithms) with practical engineering across languages like C, Python, Rust, TypeScript, OCaml and Haskell. He has led deep-tech teams and products at startups and labs, taught interdisciplinary data and ML courses, and excels at data reconciliation, performance-critical GPU code, and language interfacing. As a freelancer and researcher he routinely turns ambiguous data questions into pragmatic, cost-effective solutions—often designing custom acquisition pipelines and analytic systems. Notably, his background spans both humanities and STEM, giving him an atypical strength in clear documentation, pedagogy, and epistemology-driven system design.
