Founder & CTO, Datananas

2014 - 2021 (acquired by Sarbacane in 2020)

I created Datananas in 2014 as a solo founder and then boostrapped the company from 0 to 15k€ MRR. In 2016, I was joined by a late-cofounder and we grew the team to 20+ people after raising a 1M€ seed round. In 2018, we received a cease and desist from LinkedIn and had to pivot to a new product. Following these headwinds, we had to downscale the team to 10 people, and then 5 in 2019. Tech team was only one developer and me, but we managed to switch to a more product-led growth strategy and reach profitability again. Datananas was aqcuired by Sarbacane in 2020, and I remained CTO of the company until June 2021. My responsibilities as a founder & CTO included the following:

Full-stack development during 7+ years (Vue.js, Node.js, ...) first as solo-founder and then as hands-on CTO
Hiring & management of 1 to 8 software engineers using agile methodology (JIRA) + product team (design, marketing, ...)

Product and design: defining the roadmap, meeting users expectations, mock-ups, etc...
Code architecture, deploying code to production (CI/CD) and maintaining infrastructure (AWS, MongoDB, RabbitMQ, ...)
Conducting external security yearly reviews, helping our sales team closing enterprise-grade customers
