A senior partner, not an agency
House of Agile is a principal-led technology consultancy. That means you work directly with the person who architected platforms for 30M+ users, led 120+ engineer teams, and has been shipping production systems for 20 years.
Jean-Christophe Meillaud
Founder & Principal Consultant
20 years building and leading technology - from enterprise platforms at Universal Music and Vodafone, to co-founding startups, to consulting for SMEs and founder-led businesses across Europe. I combine architecture depth, product thinking, and business pragmatism.
- Led 120+ engineers across 5 teams at Universal Music Group
- Built platforms handling 30M+ daily users at Vodafone
- Co-founded and served as CTO for venture-backed startups
- Hands-on architect: Symfony, Node.js, Python, AWS, AI/ML
- Based in France, Switzerland, and Germany
How the practice works
I lead every engagement directly. No account managers, no juniors, no bait-and-switch. When a project needs specialized skills - deep DevOps, advanced ML, frontend polish - I bring in trusted experts from a vetted network I've built over years of collaboration.
Principal-led delivery
I'm in every meeting, every architecture decision, every code review that matters.
Trusted expert network
A small, curated group of senior specialists - not random freelancers from a platform.
Flexible engagement
From a 2-week audit to a 12-month retainer. Structured around what your business actually needs.
