Guillaume Maudoux (@layus)
Guillaume Maudoux (a.k.a @layus on GitHub and elsewhere) is an engineer and researcher specialized in build systems.
Based in Belgium, Guillaume blends a background in computer science, engineering, and applied mathematics with strong interests in correctness, reliability, and efficiency in software systems.
Guillaume works at Tweag’s Scalable Build Systems group. A team of engineers and researchers focused on developer productivity, robust tooling, and enterprise-scale build performance. His work focusses on integrating Nix into Bazel and in particular supporting remote execution. For some reason his skills are most appreciated in the robotics industry.
You may find him contributing to random open source projects because he never resists fixing a bug he found, and digging to uncover the root cause of problems. He will happily share his findings in blogs, conferences or around a coffeeC-w tea.
Guillaume’s reputation stems from his ability to bridge academic rigor with systems engineering pragmatism. His work helps teams build complex software more reliably, efficiently, and at scale.
