Julien Déramond

Software front-end engineer at Thales in Paris, France. Tech lead of Quantum, the Thales Design System.
Previously, I spent 16 years as a software engineer at Orange, where I served as Tech Lead for the Orange Design System and its web framework Boosted (a fork of Bootstrap). During this time, I contributed to various OSS projects within the Orange Open Source organization.
My earlier experience includes developing Qt/QML applications for set-top boxes and creating numerous C/C++ Web Services as Apache modules.
I’ve been a Bootstrap contributor since 2021 and joined the core team in 2022. I dedicate my spare time to contributing to various open-source projects whenever I can make a meaningful impact.
Since 2023, I’ve been maintaining Open {re}Source, and in 2024, I launched Advent of Open Source. I’m passionate about fostering collaboration between developers, designers, and accessibility practitioners.
Beyond tech, I’m an avid live music enthusiast. You can explore my work in detail on OSS Insight.
