Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDavid Castan is a Grenoble-based engineering manager and Agile coach with 12 years of experience who evolved from Unix systems and technical architecture into leading Agile transformations at scale within Orange and as a consultant. He blends deep hands-on technical credibility—evidenced by contributions to the logstash-output-elasticsearch plugin enhancing update/upsert behavior—with a people-first approach to project delivery, coaching Product Owners, Scrum Masters and teams toward continuous improvement. Known for animating communities (Scrum Masters network, Orange Agile Day) and speaking at Agile Grenoble, he designs practical change paths that shift team postures as much as processes. His background in systems engineering and storage gives him unusual empathy for infra and ops constraints when guiding product and delivery decisions.
