The Galaxy

Julien Cyr — Founder, intrapreneur, executive. I think in systems, I build for humans.
Infrastructure & Networks — Twenty years of systems designed, operated, migrated — on-prem, private and public cloud. I know what infrastructure costs because I've built it.
Public & private cloud — Architecture, migration and operation of IaaS environments — from sovereign datacenter to hyperscale cloud.
Networks & security — Network design, interconnections, perimeter security and segmentation. The first playground — since the childhood bedroom.
On-prem & datacenter — Server rooms, virtualization, storage, business continuity. The physical world behind the cloud.
IaaS — Infrastructure as a Service — sizing, costs, reversibility.
Virtualization — Hypervisors, consolidation, fleet migrations.
Security — Defense in depth, access management, compliance.
Product & Automation — My personal stack runs entire organizations: APIs, AI agents, end-to-end automation — from contract to invoice.
AI agents — Agents in production: analysis, writing, financial reconciliation, workflow orchestration. AI as a colleague, not a gadget.
No-code / low-code stack — Visual databases, orchestration, integrations — startup execution speed inside established organizations.
Integrations & APIs — Connecting systems together: CRM, invoicing, signature, customer data. Batch, webhooks, REST.
Claude / LLMs — Agents, RAG, cognitive automation.
Airtable — Data backbone of several organizations.
Make — Orchestration of complex scenarios.
Zapier — Cross-cutting automations.
Notion — Living documentation and knowledge bases.
Stripe — Invoicing, cash balance, reconciliation at scale.
Supabase — Product backend — auth, data, realtime.
Vercel — Continuous deployment of the products.
Leadership & Strategy — CEO for over a decade, executive committee member, P&L in hand. Multi-site teams, thousands of end users.
Executive leadership — Over a decade of CEO mandates: growth, disruptive pedagogy, multi-campus teams, results.
COMEX & governance — Group governance, organizational design, portfolio arbitration at executive level.
Multi-brand transformation — 15+ brands, 5 networks, 17 campuses: rationalization, unified systems, the organization treated like a product.
P&L — Full economic stewardship.
Unified CRM — Convergence of multi-brand commercial systems.
Ventures — I've started companies at every stage of my life. Some grew, others taught me. Two new ones are in orbit.
Convergent Galaxy — Independent tech consultancy founded at 20, alongside studies. Networks, systems and VoIP for businesses, plus training in private schools.
Time2Dream — Events in places where events aren't supposed to be possible. Elevating each one through technique — the visual and sound experience.
Culture Tech — A non-profit for technical production in live entertainment. Ballet, opera, concerts, fashion shows — designed and operated end to end.
Dragonfly — Intrapreneurship: innovating with the constraints of a large group and the impatience of a founder.
ownward — Under construction. The mystery is working in its favor.
edorma — Under construction. Where legacy ERPs carry twenty years of technical debt, we rebuild — faster, cheaper, better.
Offstage — The rest of the time: the backstage of live entertainment, contemporary art, the geographies crossed.
Backstage & Live — Sound, light, video, automation — in production and live. A concert is a real-time system where none of it can show. The finest engineering school I know.
Contemporary art — Collector. Art teaches me what tech forgets: that something can be essential without being useful.
Geographies — Grew up in France. Lived in San Francisco, in Spain. Based in Basel — between three borders.
Sound — Consoles, PA systems, live mixing.
Light — Desks, DMX, lighting design.
Video — Video control, mapping, media servers.
Automation — Rigging, cues, timecode.
