Since then I have worked across product, platform and infrastructure as the company grew to 60,000+ homes. I spend most of my time on the services other teams build on: making them easy to own, safe to change while live, and fast enough that no one has to think about them. I care about developer experience and the team around the code: reviews, tooling, clear ownership, and handovers that leave the next team faster. I helped shape the engineering team as it grew through reviews, standards and mentoring, and I still spend time maintaining the backend and leading the core systems. Wider record: $100M+ in direct bookings for travel operators; scaling from 3 to 60,000+ homes. I also build AgroReports (https://www.agroreports.org), an independent satellite report product, on my own. What I care about: - Reliability, under load and when something breaks - Migrations without downtime - Foundations other teams can own - Fast, correct critical paths ## Links - [Website](https://www.camtosh.fr/): canonical profile. - [JSON Resume](https://www.camtosh.fr/resume.json): structured work history for agents and parsers. - [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/camille-toche-325891136/): public roles and dates. - [GitHub](https://github.com/camTosh/): code. - [X](https://twitter.com/ToshCamille): short updates. - [AgroReports](https://www.agroreports.org): independent product.
