Vincent Cloarec is an R&D software engineer and hydrology specialist based in Toulouse, combining seven years of software-focused experience with two decades of hands-on hydraulic and flood-risk engineering. He leads development at vorteX-io and founded the Reos project (including the Lekan open-source hydrology tool), bridging domain science and production-grade software. As a QGIS core contributor he has improved mesh-layer functionality and added advanced vector-field rendering, bringing C++ GIS internals to practical environmental workflows. His background as a project lead in flood risk and stormwater management informs pragmatic, impact-driven tooling for water resources. Quietly interdisciplinary, he moves between consultancy, open-source collaboration, and product R&D to turn complex hydraulic models into usable GIS tools.
