Berlin, Germany
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolÉtienne Robert is a French founding engineer based in Berlin with 11 years of full‑stack and systems experience, currently building Banani after senior roles at Aaron.ai and Doctolib. He blends front-end craftsmanship in TypeScript/React and component-driven design with low‑level C++ and machine‑vision work from startups like Scortex and Asaphus, enabling him to move between UI polish and performance-critical systems. A proven mentor and community builder, he has led TypeScript initiatives, run Communities of Practice, and advocated for DEI and LGBTQIA+ inclusion in tech. His background includes architecting high‑scale dating platforms, industrial camera drivers, and CI-backed component libraries, and he brings a pragmatic mix of startup grit and disciplined engineering practices. Not obvious at first glance: he pairs creative, queer-focused perspectives with rigorous technical problem solving, often surfacing human-centered features in large‑scale products.
