Yannis Roy is a seasoned CTO and technical founder based in Paris with 12 years of hands-on experience shipping high‑traffic mobile and cloud products. He combines deep iOS expertise (12 years) with Node/TypeScript backend and serverless architectures, having led teams to deliver consumer apps, fintech platforms, and scalable real‑time systems. As co-founder of la Guild and former CTO of multiple startups, he excels at aligning market strategy with pragmatic tech choices, team organization, and product delivery. His recent work explores GenAI platforms and resilient small-team structures that punch above their weight in traffic and reliability.
