Gaëtan Renaudeau contributed to LedgerHQ/ledger-live by engineering robust asset management and persistence features across desktop and mobile platforms. He modernized cryptography libraries, refactored token APIs, and integrated a scalable CryptoAssetsStore, enabling reliable multi-coin support and offline-ready data. Using TypeScript, JavaScript, and React, Gaëtan streamlined build systems with Rspack, improved CI stability, and optimized performance through targeted code cleanup and dependency upgrades. His work included enhancing test automation with Playwright and Jest, strengthening error handling, and maintaining cross-platform consistency. The depth of his contributions is reflected in improved maintainability, reduced technical debt, and a more resilient, scalable codebase.

February 2026 (LedgerHQ/ledger-live): Hardened account persistence reliability and expanded test coverage; implemented tests to verify app.json updates on new accounts; refactored portfolio persistence checks for better maintainability. Fixed a desktop persistence bug by simplifying the DB middleware. Improved test organization by moving code to a .page step structure.
