CTO · 2026–now
RetroRoads
Alban Pasquelin has been CTO of RetroRoads since May 2026, a consumer app for classic cars whose three parts he architected (a GraphQL API, an admin panel and an Expo mobile app), with content translated into twenty languages.
RetroRoads is a consumer app for classic-car enthusiasts: meet-up calendar, routes, editorial content and community. It is in private beta. Three parts: an API, an admin panel and a mobile app.
The GraphQL schema is the source of truth. Client apps consume a mirror of types generated from that schema. When the API changes, they find out at compile time, before any user hits an empty screen.
Who can see which content, and when, is decided by a single service instead of being scattered across every query. A privacy rule changes in one place. Content is translated into twenty languages.
The mobile app carries native maps, GPS route recording, CarPlay and Android Auto, because a road log gets read at the wheel.
