Hello, there

My name is Romain Francoise. This is my homepage. Nice to meet you.

I'm an engineer by training and I enjoy building things. I live in Lyon, France, where I work as an engineering director at Cisco. We make a security product to protect industrial networks; you can read more about my professional life on my LinkedIn page.

I'm also involved in the free software movement. Between 2003 and 2025, I was a Debian developer, maintaining a set of system and security packages like tmux and libpcap/tcpdump. Between 2003 and 2013, I was also a contributor to GNU Emacs.
