Matthieu Gendreau
Senior Engineering Manager @ Pennylane
About
Entrepreneur and CTO for more than 8 years, I am passionate about technical leadership and team management. During my experience at FairMoney I had the opportunity to build, organize, manage a technical team of 35 people and develop a banking product used by more than 2 million customers that generates more than 100 million euros in revenue. Technically my expertise is mainly backend (Rails, NestJS) and infra (AWS, terraform) with the implementation of continuous deployment (test strategy, trunk-based development). I was also able to occasionally develop web and mobile frontends (React, Expo, Java). Personally I am striving to improve everyday by reading books / articles. Favourite books: Accelerate, Team topologies, Domain Driven Design, Clean Architecture, Designing Data-Intensive Applications Favourite newsletters: Software Lead Weekly, Tech.Rocks, The Pragmatic Engineer https://matthieu-gendreau.notion.site/Knowledge-base-6378be523eec4b1a8cd8dc3f3720208d
