About Nicolas

🚀 Product Owner & Scrum Master | Software Engineer | IT & Agile Expert

15 years of experience at the intersection of software engineering and product vision.

My hybrid profile is my greatest asset: I have the technical background of a former developer (Node.js, C++) and the strategic approach of a certified Scrum Master Product Owner. I am fluent in both business and tech language, allowing me to maximize your product's value while streamlining the daily work of development teams.

🛠️ My Areas of Expertise:
  • **Product Vision & Strategy**: Needs framing, functional analysis, value-based prioritization, roadmapping, and complex backlog management.
  • **Technical & IT Legitimacy**: API analysis (Postman), IT department interface, fluid dialogue with architects and developers, ability to challenge technical decisions to secure deliveries.
  • **Agile Methodology**: Facilitating Scrum rituals, optimizing team velocity (Jira, Confluence), and change management.
  • **Multi-departmental Coordination**: Aligning stakeholders (Management, Marketing, Support, Sales) and a "ground-level" culture (client workshops, beta testing).
💡 Why work with me?
  • **Autonomy & Rigor**: Entrepreneurial spirit (startup founder), I quickly integrate into your teams and take the lead on complex projects from day one.
  • **Increased Productivity**: By eliminating communication friction between business and technical teams, I ensure shorter and more efficient delivery cycles.
Available for framing, build piloting, agile coaching, or development missions. Let's discuss your next challenge!
