Founding Engineer
January 2022 – June 2026
Remote from France
Founding engineer in a small product team that built Elba's B2B security SaaS from the first MVP to a production platform.
Worked with product and design to clarify customer problems, question proposed solutions, and define a useful scope before implementation. I prototyped ideas, took part in user testing, and owned product areas through UI details, rollout, monitoring, and maintenance.
Most active contributor to the codebase, with 2,500+ commits and 3,600+ PR reviews across product, architecture, reliability, observability, and developer experience.
- Built a training editor with AI-assisted generation, translation, quizzes, localized previews, and rendering for web, Slack, Teams, and Google Chat.
- Built an AI-assisted phishing scenario editor with prompt-based generation, translation, real-time previews, validation, and image handling.
- Designed and built a visual security automation editor with reusable triggers, conditions, and actions, including validation, templates, runtime execution, versioning, and legacy migration.
- Worked closely with design on interaction details, keyboard support, and consistency, from early prototypes to finished interfaces.
- Helped engineers simplify solutions and break complex changes into small, reviewable steps through code reviews, architecture discussions, and knowledge sharing.
- Built analytics and observability for activation tracking, user journeys, logs, metrics, alerts, and production health.
- Built employee and admin communication workflows across web, email, Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Google Chat.
- Implemented reliable async workflows with durable jobs, retries, rate limits, concurrency controls, idempotency, cancellation paths, and monitoring.
- Shipped non-breaking rollouts with feature flags, staged migrations, backfills, compatibility layers, and legacy cleanup.
