Founding product engineer

Hey, my name is Nicolas Bichon. I've been building apps for 16+ years. I'm currently a Founding product engineer at Pool, and working on my indie apps Type and Supersleep.

I enjoy working at the intersection of product, design and development. I'm happiest when I'm sitting next to a designer – discussing a design or a feature, or just having a coffee.

My motivation and energy are driven by the collaboration with design and product teams. I consider software development as a tool that helps me achieve what I want: build a great product and help the company I work with to be successful.

I love taking projects from 0 to 1.

If you ask any of my current or ex-teammates, they'll tell you that some of my greatest strengths are my strong product sense and taste, my eye for design, my empathy, and my passion for building products. And of course a great teammate to work with. I'm (almost) always positive.

Outside of my day-to-day life, I mostly do dad stuff (father of 2). I'm a big fan of tartiflette, raclette, jambon-beurre sandwiches, and ice cream. I also enjoy story-based video games, playing music (I used to play the drums in a rock band) and working on my indie apps. I recently started going to the gym as well (life-changing) and built my own desktop, as one does.

Let's become friends on X, Threads, or LinkedIn.
