Etienne Lafarge is a Full Stack Software Engineer with 11 years of experience building data-intensive, cloud-native systems from the infrastructure layer to the user-facing product. He has led SRE practices and platform engineering at PayFit and helped launch Pigment as an early full-stack hire, blending backend (Go, TypeScript), infrastructure (Kubernetes, Terraform, AWS) and observability expertise. Comfortable designing databases and message-oriented architectures, he emphasizes evolvability, simplicity and measurable SLIs/SLOs to improve user experience. Etienne pairs hands-on coding and tooling (libraries for tracing/metrics) with people-oriented technical management, training and incident leadership. Trained at MINES ParisTech with a strong math background, he brings a systems-thinking approach influenced by books on data systems and SRE. A practical polyglot who moves between performance tuning, CI/CD automation and product-driven engineering, he thrives where reliability meets rapid product iteration.
