Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFranck Royer is a seasoned software engineer and team leader with 14 years of experience building mission-critical C++ systems and pioneering decentralized, privacy-focused open-source projects as Waku Connect Team Lead. He blends hands-on systems development (C++, Rust, Python) with proven people leadership—having transformed teams at Amadeus to Agile practices, cut incident backlogs dramatically, and led cross-functional squads. In the crypto space he designed and shipped mainnet-ready HTLC atomic swaps and layer-2 channel proofs, plus tooling and SDKs that supported live demos and developer onboarding. Comfortable across low-level blockchain scripts, EVM assembly and higher-level TypeScript tooling, he’s equally pragmatic in production ops and research-minded prototyping. Based in New South Wales, he pairs engineering rigor with a strong commitment to decentralisation, privacy and open-source collaboration—often coaching peers to present ideas that win support.
