Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Noé is a versatile software engineer and entrepreneur with over 15 years of experience building web and GIS applications for conservation, research, and public-sector clients. As founder of The Binary Forest and co-founder/engineer at Datafable, he delivers full-stack solutions using Python, Django, Vue.js and PostGIS while preferring autonomy but thriving in collaborative teams. He has a strong open-source ethos—contributing bug fixes, tests and GIS features to Django’s core—and brings hands-on experience with low-level systems, hardware, and deployment across macOS and Linux. His background at the Belgian Biodiversity Platform and INBO pairs domain expertise in biodiversity and mapping with practical skills in data portals, web-wrapping and capacity building. Comfortable as a lone developer or team member, he seeks projects with positive environmental or social impact and frequently participates in training, documentation and community-driven initiatives. An uncommon strength is his combined fluency in spatial tooling and system-level concerns, enabling end-to-end solutions from hardware to map visualizations.
