François ANDREANI Team Lead

Student at Ecole Polytechnique
François designed, architected, and built the full RoundZ platform end-to-end. He implemented the autonomous voice interview experience using the VAPI real-time agent API, created the useVapi hook for connection management, speech streaming, transcript capture, and phase logic. He developed all interview phases (FIT, TECH, BRAINTEASER), engineered call lifecycle automation, and built the complete frontend with React, TypeScript, Vite, TailwindCSS, and shadcn/ui. He handled deployment on Vercel, environment configuration, project orchestration, product direction, and narrative design. François also led dataset preparation and defined the autonomous agent logic, failure modes, and scalability strategy.
My name is Francois Andreani, I am a student at Ecole Polytechnique and HEC Paris in the Msc Data Science and AI for Business. I am passionate about Data Science, Machine Learning, and all their applications to solve real world problems. I am someone extremely curious, with great adaptability, and a entrepreneurial mindset.
I’m passionate about the intersection of AI, data, and entrepreneurship — using technology to build products that solve real problems and create impact at scale. I’m especially interested in applied machine learning, product analytics, and how AI can enhance user experience and decision-making. I love connecting with people who share a builder mindset and enjoy turning innovative ideas into reality.
