John is a serial entrepreneur. He co-founded 3 startups before Airbyte, 2 of which exited. Before 2016 he was more of a B2C product and growth experts.
Since taking over CodinGame in 2016, a platform that helps developers practice their coding skills through games, John has been passionate about developer tools and marketing. He appreciates that marketing becomes all about providing value with this audience, no fluff.
His 3rd startup, Anaxi, was an engineering management platform sitting on top of the tools required on a software project. He had to build a whole set of ETL pipelines with his team, and got serious scars from it. So, once he got the insight of a new open-source ELT platform with his co-founder Michel, this was a problem he was instantaneously fond of.
Along the years, John has published his learnings across quite a few well-known publications (SDTimes, Devops.com, Linux.com, etc.)
