About Nicolas

I help startups and software publishers design, develop, and scale their applications with Ruby on Rails.

With over 20 years of experience, I work directly with founders and CTOs to help them make the right technical decisions, reduce complexity, and accelerate product delivery.

I mainly focus on:
  • Ruby on Rails architecture and development
  • Creation and evolution of SaaS products
  • Technical audits and performance optimization
  • Integration of AI and automation into web applications
  • Modernization of existing applications
  • CTO coaching / Outsourced CTO

I typically get involved when:
  • an application needs to scale but the architecture is becoming a bottleneck
  • a team needs senior technical expertise
  • a SaaS MVP needs to be designed and delivered quickly
  • an existing product needs to be stabilized or modernized

My goal is simple: build robust, maintainable systems that can evolve with the business.
