Alexandre Trotel
I'm a founder and full-stack engineer.
Work
I'm joining Tengo in Paris as a backend engineer.
Before that, I co-founded Radion as CTO, a real-time and historical data platform for prediction markets. We ingested 8 billion Polymarket events in under two days and served them at 70ms p95 from a multi-threaded Rust API.
Before Radion, I was a full-stack engineer, intern then freelancer, at ALLOHOUSTON. I wrote a conflict resolution algorithm that kept our database in sync with a client's CRM without losing local state, and built an OCR pipeline that checked critical documents against public and private databases.
During my studies, I co-founded Mindify as CTO, a startup helping people discover new topics and change their daily life. I built and shipped its web and mobile app, with 1,000+ downloads.
Around the same time, I interned at SiBorg as a full-stack engineer and won The Graph Prize at the Coinbase Onchain Summer hackathon.
It all started with my first startup, TrotelCoin, a web3 app teaching students and non-technical users about blockchain. I wrote 10+ Solidity smart contracts and reached 200+ users.
In parallel, I was vice president of N7 Consulting. I led a team of 26 and generated €100K in revenue, working on strategy, operations, sales and management.
Projects
I also maintain developer tools, mostly in Rust:
- todo-tree finds every TODO comment in a codebase.
- dotfiles-manager syncs dotfiles across machines with profiles.
Hobbies
I read non-fiction, manga and manhwa, and watch anime. I run 20-30 km per week and play badminton.
I play the piano and make EDM on FL Studio.
I share what I learn daily on Instagram, where I have 10k+ followers.
