Geoffrey Heckmann.

Full-stack by craft. Web3 by conviction. CTO by necessity.

I design technical organizations and the products they build — from a first commit to a production L1, a phygital marketplace, or a retail DeFi platform.

Trained at EPITECH, shaped by a decade of co-founding. I work across the stack, lean into hard protocol-level problems, and translate ambiguous product ideas into systems a team can actually ship.

2024 — Present

Objectify

Co-founder & CTO

Sep 2024 — Present

Digital ownership for physical objects — a marketplace for limited editions with built-in anti-fraud.

Problem
Brands selling limited-edition physical goods lack a credible, cross-platform way to prove authenticity and transfer ownership after the first sale.
Approach
Defined the full technical architecture end-to-end: a Shopify extension for phygital commerce, an NFT-backed ownership title issued at checkout, and a redemption flow that ties the digital title back to the physical object.
Result
A working multi-brand marketplace where every item carries a verifiable, transferable digital ownership record — currently onboarding partner brands.

2021 — 2024

Ternoa

CTO — Capsule Corp. Labs

Dec 2021 — Sep 2024

NFT-focused Layer 1 on Substrate and the DApp studio that ships on top of it.

Problem
Ternoa needed to ship a production-grade NFT L1 in the Polkadot ecosystem while simultaneously proving the platform through first-party DApps.
Approach
Ran technical strategy across chain and apps: drove smart-contract architecture and audits, grew the engineering org, unblocked protocol and product teams, and shepherded releases from inception to production.
Result
A live Substrate-based NFT chain with an active DApp studio and multiple third-party integrations.

Meria · Just-Mining

Co-founder & Tech Lead

May 2017 — May 2018

The platform that became the biggest French crypto-staking service, built in partnership with Owen Simonin (Hasheur).

Problem
Retail investors in France had no simple, trustworthy way to participate in crypto mining and staking.
Approach
Co-founded the company and led the technical build-out: infrastructure for mining and staking, a retail-friendly product surface, and the operational systems behind it.
Result
Grew into France's largest retail staking platform under the Meria brand — a defining project of the early French DeFi scene.
