my name is nicolas and i've been a software developer for 9 years now. i currently work as a senior frontend and mobile developer on tools, web apps and mobile apps. i care about building and shipping software that is optimized, well-crafted, tested and scalable and thought as a useful product for end users.

despite being passionate about tech and software development, i think it is important to approach technology with a critical mindset and a sense of responsibility, to avoid falling into a comfortable neutrality; more than an industry and an economic field, i tend to consider technology as a political choice that must be constantly questioned regarding its impacts on human beings, societies, and ecosystems. technology is above all a social subject.

that said, i believe that technology that escape market logic can be a powerful tool for popular education and can serve as catalyst for meaningful social change, particularly when its use is decentralized and vernacular.

aside from my work and my interest in technology, i care about my time offline, which often means being surrounded by loved ones, bikes, books and vinyl records. i try to manage my time online so that my use of the internet is always time-enhancing rather than time-consuming. the doomscrolling use of the internet is not inevitable and is dictated by structures and ideologies.

our attention span is coveted and growing ever shorter; our lifespan is limited. let's be mindful of the people around us, learn from them and raise awareness of our own condition through art, culture, philosophy, self-discipline and reformed structures and infrastructures.

let's be uncompromising about what gives our lives their vitality and importance.
