Martin Ratinaud is a serial founder and full-stack engineer with 12 years of experience building startups and products across six countries, currently co-founding Headlinker and ValoriseTaSociété while leading StakingCrypto.io. He blends hands-on engineering (Node.js, React, Ruby on Rails) with executive experience as former CTO for France's digital diplomacy office, shipping remote-first projects and scaling teams. Comfortable across frontend, backend and product, he has repeatedly moved from architect to operator roles—from engineering manager in Mauritius to startup CTO and freelance engagements. A remote-work evangelist and indie hacker, he balances technical leadership with entrepreneurial grit, having launched three startups in six months. Outside work he’s a father of two and an avid lifehacker and extreme-sports enthusiast, a background that fuels pragmatic, high-tempo execution.
