Could you briefly introduce yourself ?
Today, we're handing the mic to Nicolas Voisin, our Technical Project Manager at Hubup. Discover his journey!
My name is Nicolas Voisin, I’m 28 years old and originally from beautiful Normandy ! For over four years now, I’ve been working as a Technical Project Manager at Hubup.
My role mainly revolves around managing the data used in our applications. In other words, I handle everything related to data from storage, modification, and deletion, to ensuring it’s properly passed on to our front-end teams so that users receive accurate and relevant information.
How did you discover Hubup ?
The appeal and vibrancy of the Greater Paris job market motivated me to leave my hometown of Caen. Around the same time, Hubup was looking to grow its team. I applied and the connection was instant. It’s been a real pleasure to be part of the adventure since August 2020 !
How did you first get into software development ?
Actually, it happened a bit by chance! While studying law at university, I met an iOS developer who introduced me to web development. I immediately got hooked because it’s a world where imagination is the only limit. With the right technologies, we can build almost anything!
Motivated to turn this passion into a career, I took on some jobs to finance my online training. Ultimately, this training helped me gain new skills and validate my knowledge by earning the “Holy Grail” in just one year!
What do you enjoy in your role ?
The constant pursuit of optimization, the teamwork, and the freedom we have daily to shape our projects. I’m also responsible for training and mentoring our development interns.
Growing up in a family of teachers, I developed a passion for teaching to the point that, a few years ago, I even considered becoming a math teacher. As our team has grown, I’ve gladly taken on this role. I like to believe that being a developer is above all about sharing knowledge, which helps elevate the team to its best version.
I’m constantly on the lookout for musical gems (1,308 hours listened on Spotify in 2021 !). Music is at the heart of my life played piano for 10 years and bass guitar for 5 years. I’m also an avid scuba diving enthusiast.
What is your greatest pride?
I am behind several features in our applications, but for now, I especially value my work on integrating and managing various client data repositories. This enables the deployment of advanced real-time passenger information systems (SAEIV) with complex functionalities in a very short time.
Overall, I consider my greatest achievement to be my contribution to the growth and development of Hubup as a company… And we have some exciting surprises in store for you !
