About Félix

CTOwith over 10 years of **startup experience**, I support early-stage teams in the design, development, and structuring of reliable, fast-to-deliver, and scalable products.

Accustomed todemandingenvironments and growth challenges, I am involved in both technical topics (architecture, stack choices, quality, delivery) and organizational aspects (processes, mentoring, recruitment, tech vision). My approach is pragmatic, impact-oriented, and product-centric.

Hands-onwhen necessary, I master Node.js / Typescript / React / NestJS / PostgreSQL stacks and am capable of moving fast while laying solid technical foundations, from MVP to scale.

My clients appreciate my ability to clarify priorities, effectively structure teams, and advance projects without unnecessary complexity — always with excellent feedback on Malt or elsewhere.

If you are looking for a CTO who can combine vision, execution, and pragmatism to grow your product or team, let's discuss.

We had the chance to work with a great duo (Félix & David). Felix developed the back-end of our platform with great intelligence and patience, as it was our first product. Excellent interpersonal skills, good project management, and a very high-quality service.
