Senior🎓
Top SchoolValentin Manès is a founder and software engineer with 12 years of experience building production-grade systems fast—often shipping AI-driven products in weeks rather than quarters. He combines a deep research background from KAIST in security and fuzzing with hands-on backend engineering in Go, distributed systems, and modern web stacks. Valentin has founded multiple startups, designing full stacks and ML-infused tooling—from a fuzzer that discovered thousands of crashes to an AI poker assistant blending LLMs with game-theoretic agents. He has production experience in high-scale fintech and monitoring platforms, contributing to core ledger services and event-driven microservices. Based in Paris, he pairs rigorous academic training in cryptography and information security with pragmatic product focus and iterative user testing. He’s notable for turning complex research prototypes into deployable services and for preferring rapid, data-driven iteration over long development cycles.
