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 only see code as a way to ship good useful products to end users not as an end in itself, so it's important to consider why we write it, who uses it and why it matters.

I have an ambivalent relationship with technology, despite (and perhaps because of) my position in this industry. Rather than seeing it as an inevitable feature of modernity, I believe technology is a political choice that can and must be questioned, reoriented, or even rejected depending on our societal values. It shapes how 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.

That being said, I think technologies that exist outside market logics—like the web—are great tools for popular education and can be catalysts for major social transformations. I believe that questioning technology doesn't mean rejecting the intellectual stimulation and the multiple and sometimes vernacular uses that can emerge from building thoughtful, human-centered tools.

Beyond my work and my interest in tech, I find meaning in fatherhood, peace in cycling and interest in music and avant-garde art. 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.
