Denis Chevalier

I am a Senior Staff Backend Engineer with extensive experience in backend architecture design and team leadership. My journey has taken me through various roles, where I have consistently focused on enhancing system performance and ensuring high-quality code standards. Currently, I am currently on a sabbatical leave, during which I co-founded the non-profit Happy Toutous Orléans, dedicated to promoting dog well-being and policies in our city, organized and hosted a painting exhibition with international reach, and released two full length music albums.

Previously, I worked at Electra, where I played a pivotal role in redefining our invoicing and billing services, significantly improving modularity to better align with our business needs. My contributions to the OCPI committee were instrumental in the redaction of the OCPI v3 specification. At Qonto, I designed and built the Core Banking System, focusing on payment authorization and ledger subsystems, while also establishing a robust backend architecture strategy tailored to our accountability and security needs.

Throughout my career, I have prioritized knowledge sharing and team development, hosting training events and creating internal tooling for observability. My military background has also equipped me with unique skills in intelligence analysis and project management, which I have applied in various tech environments.
