Alexandre Trotel
I'm Alexandre, a founder and engineer. I start companies and write the software behind them.
Work
Today, I run Zap Studio, where I build type-safe TypeScript libraries that work in any framework and any runtime: 16 packages, zero dependencies, 7,000+ downloads a month.
Alongside it, I co-founded Radion, a real-time data platform for prediction markets, as CTO. We ingested 8 billion Polymarket events in under two days and served them at 70ms p95.
Before Radion, I was a full stack engineer at ALLOHOUSTON, first as an intern, then as a freelancer. I wrote the conflict resolution that kept our database and a client's CRM in sync without losing local state, built an end-to-end OCR pipeline with computer vision, and prepared the stack for AI code review.
Earlier, I co-founded Mindify as CTO and shipped a 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 TrotelCoin, my first company: a Web3 project with 10+ Solidity contracts and 200+ app users. In parallel, I was vice president of N7 Consulting, where I led a team of 26 and generated €100K in revenue.
Projects
From Zap Studio, @zap-studio/permit supports ABAC and RBAC out of the box and keeps permission policies in one place, with full type safety.
On the side, I maintain developer tools: todo-tree finds every TODO comment in a codebase, dotfiles-manager keeps dotfiles consistent across machines with profiles, and feedyourai packs a codebase into one file for LLM context.
