hi !

my name is Nicolas and i've been a software developer for 8 years now. i currently work as a frontend and mobile developer (react, react native, typescript/javascript) in an agency located in southern france. i have a particular interest for designing complex business tools and cross-platform mobile applications, and i like to take a "product" approach to software in order to keep in mind its general usefulness and how it is used by end users.

in fact, i have a rather critical and ambivalent relationship with technology, despite (and perhaps because of) my position in this industry. rather than seeing it as an inevitable purpose of modernity, i think it's important to view technology as a political choice that can and must be questioned, reoriented or even rejected depending on the dynamics of the social forces at work. it shapes and influences how our society is organized and it affects humans in many ways, so it shouldn't be treated as a neutral tool but subjected to critical analysis of its impacts.
nevertheless, i think technologies (mostly open and libre ones) that step outside market logics like the web (thank you tim) are great tools for popular education and can be a catalyst for major social transformations.

outside of tech, i love cycling, music, experimental avant-gardes, chestnut cream, and philosophy. this website has no other ambition for the moment than to occupy my little corner of the web and centralize the places where i like to spend time.
