Aloïs Canot

Founding Engineer specialized in data-heavy, real-time interfaces and Web3. I ship products that go to production, not POCs.

Latest project: 15 months as Founding Engineer at Komi Exchange, a multi-chain DeFi trading terminal (EVM + Solana). Built the frontend from scratch with the core team and shipped the product across 3 platforms from a single codebase: web app (Next.js), Chrome extension (Manifest V3), and Telegram Mini App.

Concrete proof points:

- Chrome extension live on the Chrome Web Store: 4.8/5 from 108+ ratings, used daily by traders

- Product trailer reached 100K+ organic views on X

- 1 of 3 hired from 200 applicants, longest-standing engineer on the team when I left

- 3 months on-site at the Komi hackerhouse in Dubai

What I deliver:

Frontend

- React, Next.js, TypeScript, Vite

- Real-time pipelines: WebSocket, SSE, gRPC, stores with hundreds of live data points

- Complex Chrome MV3 extensions: multiple contexts, Shadow DOM, typed IPC, offscreen documents

- Multi-chain Web3 integration: EVM and Solana wallets, on-chain transaction flows, Privy, Particle Network, Viem

- Complete design systems, Figma-to-code, responsive mobile/tablet/desktop

Backend (when the mission calls for full-stack)

- NestJS, Node.js, Express, FastAPI

- PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker

AI integration when relevant

- ElizaOS-based agents shipped at Komi (Telegram, Discord, X)

- Claude API and OpenAI API integration in production codebases

Background: Epitech (3 years of intensive systems programming in C/C++/ASM), which gives me low-level intuition useful for frontend perf optimization (flame chart profiling, re-renders, memory leaks).

I communicate directly, ship fast, and my code goes to production.

Available now.
