Pascal Bertrand

Pascal Bertrand has been developing with Go since 2017 as a software engineer, in both big and small companies. He strives for clear code and quality test coverage, and he enjoys reviewing pull requests. Before choosing Go, he worked for 10 years with languages such as C++, PHP, and Java, which allowed him to have a broad overview of how to get the best from each language for every situation a developer will face—coding, testing, documenting, deploying, and maintaining.

After 10 years in the French Riviera in the aviation, defense, and then aerospace and photogrammetry industries, Pascal moved to London to join Blòkur where he uses his experience in migrating a codebase to a microservice architecture. He uses his knowledge and experience in Go to mentor newcomers and ensure high-quality code in his company.

Pascal can usually be found playing board games, learning—through books and visits—about history and linguistics, or enjoying a walk in the wilderness. He enjoys twisting his mind over math problems.
