Hey, I’m Nico
Web engineer and DevOps architect based in France. I build and maintain plugin ecosystems, deployment pipelines, and the infrastructure behind them — with WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, and modern tooling.
I currently work at Saturday Drive, the company behind Ninja Forms. My work spans plugin development, add-on architecture, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure automation. Before that, I was part of the CalderaWP team building Caldera Forms and its add-on ecosystem.
I’ve been working with WordPress since 2010 — from custom themes and freelance projects to large-scale plugin architecture and DevOps. I like shipping things that work, writing code that’s clear, and automating what shouldn’t be manual.

Background
I studied Applied Foreign Languages (English & Spanish) at Université Paris 7, lived five years in Buenos Aires, and spent a year working in London. I’m trilingual — French, English, and Spanish — and comfortable working in distributed, international teams.
When I’m not writing code, I’m usually tinkering with self-hosted infrastructure, exploring AI tools, or contributing to open source projects.
