Summary
Yann Carlen is a Lead Tech based in Strasbourg with 9 years of experience designing resilient, distributed backend architectures and guiding engineering teams from startup to product-stage. He combines hands-on backend and DevOps experience with entrepreneurial leadership—having founded ZENICHECK, served as CTO at Cypios, and run his own lead-developer practice—so he moves fluidly between strategy, coding and operational reliability. Currently leading technical efforts at AR24 while still operating entrepreneurial projects, he’s adept at translating business constraints into pragmatic, scalable systems. His background spans full-stack roles and DevOps early in his career, which gives him a rare end-to-end perspective on delivery and production stability. Notably, he blends formal IT training from EPITECH with real-world startup grind, making him comfortable in both structured engineering environments and fast-changing product contexts.
