Summary
Nicolas Assouad is a Senior Software Engineer based in Paris with 11 years of experience building production web platforms, developer tooling and low-level systems. He combines a strong theoretical computer science background (typing, algorithms, cryptography) with hands-on expertise in TypeScript, Node.js, C#, React/Angular and cloud-native stacks. As co-founder and CTO of Compwise he moved from idea to MVP in a month, ran extensive user research and shipped a benchmarked product that was acquired by Lucca. He has a track record of accelerating delivery—reducing connector development times dramatically at 360Learning and migrating critical services to fully typed TypeScript at Mindmesh. Comfortable in both startup and public-sector settings, he has led design and architecture for high-impact open source projects used in production (e.g., LABEL for the French Court of Cassation). His blend of academic training from ENS and practical product experience makes him equally at home optimizing low-level performance and shaping user-focused platforms.
