Trystan Sarrade

I'm a motivated engineer, driven by curiosity and a love for learning. What I care about most is having real impact on the ecosystems and organizations I'm part of.

My career started as an Ops at a learning-center company, where I grew my engineering skills as an autodidact. I then moved into the world of full-stack development and SaaS, and have been building products there ever since.

What I've learned is that the engineers who can hold both ends in their head at once, the engineering side and the product-and-customer side, are the ones who truly make a difference. That's what drives me most: owning the entire technical side and making product tradeoffs. I love building things used by real users.

I hold a BAC+5 as a digital director and am currently completing an engineering master's at CNAM through a prior learning assessment (VAE).

What I write about

The four threads I keep returning to: software architecture done honestly, engineering leadership at small scale, the practical reality of shipping AI features, and the economics of running infrastructure outside of a hyperscaler.
