Summary
Nicolas Fortin is a senior software engineer with 12 years’ experience building data-driven SaaS at high-growth French startups, from early-stage Botify to AI-first Tinyclues and Alan. He combines full-stack web development (React, Play/Scala, Node) with data engineering expertise—designing ingestion pipelines, Spark jobs, AWS-based datalakes, and orchestration with Airflow and Kubernetes. At Tinyclues he moved from individual contributor work to leading a 6–7 person data integration team, shipping integrations with Salesforce, Facebook and batch systems while mentoring engineers. Known for pragmatic product focus, he also introduced tooling and practices around CI/CD, monitoring and event-driven architectures that scaled teams and platforms. Fluent across cloud, backend, and front-end concerns, he brings a track record of turning prototypes into production-grade, observable systems.
