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) on complex business web tools and cross-platform mobile applications. 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 political choices we make as a society. 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 that step outside market logics like the web 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.
