Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Ferrero is an experienced software engineer with 15 years building front-end and full-stack JavaScript systems for products ranging from embedded smart TV UIs to big data visualization. He has led distributed teams across multiple countries while staying highly hands-on—typically spending at least 70% of his time coding—and has deep expertise in React, Redux, TypeScript, Node, CI/CD and automated testing. After senior roles at companies like eBay, IHS Markit and Trainline, he transitioned in 2023 to independent security research and bug bounty hunting, bringing a pragmatic developer’s eye to vulnerability discovery. Nicolas has a history of creating robust build systems and performance automation on constrained platforms, an edge that informs both his engineering and security work. Based in Romania, he pairs strong mentorship and hiring experience with a track record of shipping production-grade systems across web, mobile and embedded environments. He also brings an unusual combination of game development and low-level plugin work, demonstrating curiosity across the full stack.
