Top SchoolNicolas Carrier is a C/Linux software technical leader with 14+ years of hands-on experience building and refining Linux-based products and toolchains, currently ensuring high-quality tooling, CI and release processes at Safran Navigation & Timing. He combines deep userland C expertise with practical skills in Python, Bash, Groovy and packaging (apt, Docker), driving automation, reproducible builds and maintainable codebases for embedded and non-embedded systems. A long-time Linux enthusiast and public open-source practitioner, he focuses as much on developer workflow improvements and testing culture as on architecture and code cleanup.
