I was recently invited to speak at UXDX in Dublin on the topic of continuous delivery and how it impacts product delivery At Dashlane we have invested heavily in improving our engineering practices, aiming for painless, fast, and reliable releases. This is an ongoing investment with no target destination, focused on continuously getting better. Here […]

Two to three times a year, we organize  hackathons at Dashlane. These are fun and creative events where teams mix up to work on small projects of their choice.   Unfortunately, fun isn’t a good enough reason to divert time and resources away from our core business goals, so hackathons need to provide some long-term value. […]

Our 2019 industry trends report makes six bold predictions for the digital security sector. Some are welcomed, like the spreading of GDPR-type laws outside of Europe, while others make us a bit queasy, like the thought of a terrorist attack being carried out by a criminal sitting behind a desk somewhere unknown. 2019 industry trends […]

Eighteen months ago, we decided to revolutionize our Product & Engineering organization. We moved from teams that were associated with technical platforms (iOS, Windows, web, etc.) towards “feature teams.” This was a big change for us, but it was necessary to allow us to support our growth and our business. Four months ago, Product & Engineering […]

Before I joined Dashlane, I worked at a company that had a team located in Malta. The Maltese like to cook, share food, and eat. As such, they started a tradition: From time to time, members of the team from Malta would prepare different homemade Maltese breakfast specialties, from pastries, to pizzas, bacon, and different […]

I previously shared how having a culture of continuous learning is vital to the health and growth of our engineering team here at Dashlane. If we’re not learning, we’re stagnating. One way this mindset manifests itself is in our investment in and dedication to sending engineers to conferences and hosting engineering Meetups in our Paris office. Attending […]

I’m the father of three little girls, ages nine, six, and two. I’m also the CTO of a budding tech company, managing an engineering team of about 50. You might think that these two roles are constantly in conflict (and you might be right), but I’ve come to realize and appreciate that there are lots of parallels between […]

Achieving faster and more reliable releases is the goal of all CTOs and Engineering Teams. We want to keep up with the pace of business and shorten time-to-market to offer more value to our users. Continuous Delivery, as promoted by Jez Humble and David Farley, is one of the paths to achieving that objective. There are […]

A few years ago, Dashlane decided to move to Agile software development. At that time, it essentially meant adopting the Scrum project methodology inspired by the Agile Manifesto. But that was only the start of the Agile journey at Dashlane. As the company grew, we went through several steps of change, always trying to adapt […]

– Updated October 20 2021 – Our users, partners, and job candidates often ask, “what is the technology stack we use?” “What are the engines behind Dashlane?” Let’s pop the hood and take a look inside! Dashlane’s Tech Stack From Day 1, we aimed to build the best application possible for each environment and take […]

Last Thursday, we hosted the Paris Security Meetup in the Dashlane Office in Paris. 40 guests joined us for 2 discussions: The first was related to the investigation of a password-stealing malware. It was a very interesting step-by-step analysis of how malware programs operate. The second was around house intercoms. We discussed how new models of intercoms that […]

I like to learn new stuff, all the time. I believe this is a need that also allows me to progress and be better every day. That spirit of learning continuously is one of the keys for performance, and as such in all my career I have pushed for a culture of Continuous Learning. Nowadays, […]
