Summary
Paul Plaquette is a Senior Software Engineer and seasoned R&D architect based in Montpellier with 13+ years delivering cross-platform systems from embedded Linux and Qt desktop apps to native iOS/Android and mobile middleware. He combines deep C/C++ and modern mobile stacks (Swift/SwiftUI, Kotlin, Compose Multiplatform, Android Jetpack) with a long history of UX-driven design, API/middleware architecture and CI/CD automation. A pragmatic open-source advocate and former Apache/Cordova committer, he’s spoken internationally about porting Cordova to new platforms and has driven platform ports and audio/RTC work at Intel. Paul splits his time between consulting and exploratory projects under Trilda, experimenting with KMM/KMP, Compose Multiplatform and multi-OS native tooling—bringing both legacy systems knowledge and a hands-on appetite for cross-platform convergence. Not obvious from titles: his career began on Macintosh and Palm platforms, giving him rare expertise in constrained-device UX and long-term platform porting.
