About Nicholas

Authorized to work in France and UK. No sponsorship required.

Hi! I’ve been automating and coding solutions to business problems for 8 years.

I architected and developed a bespoke automated venue booking system that scaled the business 100% in a year. I wasn’t satisfied with the solutions currently on the market, so I built my own.

As a software engineer, an IT manager, as a customer-facing sales coordinator, and not least as a musician/composer, I've worked across many different technical and creative domains. This blend allows me to approach technology with a user-centric and innovative mindset.

These days, I see a problem and I know that step by step I can figure out a way to solve it, even better if
that means learning new things. I'm simply going to go out and find the solution using any resource available to me.
