Summary
Sebastien Nicoud is a bilingual Franco-American Senior Software Engineer based in Montreal with 14+ years of professional experience building everything from low-level C++ diagnostics and UEFI tooling for HP manufacturing to scalable, map- and database-heavy web applications for USGS and high-throughput content systems at Expedia. He blends deep systems-level expertise (UEFI, Linux, HPC, x86/assembly) with full-stack web architecture using Java, Groovy, JavaScript, PostgreSQL/MongoDB and AWS, and holds a Master’s in Computer Science plus RHCE certification. At Expedia he was the SME for a global content generation system producing billions of paragraphs across 45 languages, and earlier he automated complex factory imaging and diagnostics workflows at HP. Comfortable across the stack, he moves fluidly between requirement analysis, architecture, and hands-on maintenance, and is an open source contributor and perennial Linux sysadmin. An uncommon strength is his history of shipping both embedded/firmware-level solutions and cloud-native services, giving him a rare perspective on reliability from silicon to UI.
