Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.
👋 Hey! I am Valerian.
I am a Software Engineer and Product Designer. I spend my time building things.
What I am working on:
- I am currently CTO at Crisp, a customer support SaaS, that I co-founded with Baptiste Jamin.
- On the side, I am also working on Prose, a decentralized team messaging app, powered by XMPP.
- I have a personal website, on which I sometimes blog, publish pictures and list books I have read.
- I maintain popular OSS projects: Sonic (search index), Vigil (status page), Sales Tax (VAT calculator), and more.
- Oh, and one last thing: I co-invented MakAir, the world's first open-source medical ventilator.
What I am interested in:
- My domains of expertise are: messaging, protocols, cryptography, the XMPP standard, Rust programming, JavaScript full-stack development, application design, distributed systems, microservices and fault-tolerant architectures.
- On my spare time, I also like to learn about: economics, 3D printing and CAD modeling.
