Welcome
Hi, I'm Nicolas Noisette.
Performance Engineer and Amateur Photographer with an interest in AI, automation and cloud infrastructure.
About Me.
Senior Performance Engineer with 10+ years of experience in performance testing, automation and DevOps.
I am highly skilled in designing test strategies, building robust tool infrastructure and collaborating closely with stakeholders to deliver reliable, high-quality systems that scale effectively under pressure.
My passion lies at the intersection of AI, automation and cloud infrastructure, constantly searching for better ways to optimize application performance and system latency.
When I'm not optimizing systems, I'm an amateur photographer currently venturing into film. I'm also trying to be a late bloomer in extreme sports, taking up snowboarding, golf and swimming. I enjoy traveling and meeting new people along the way.

Behind the Lens.
When I step away from the keyboard, I love capturing moments in nature and the geometry of urban landscapes.
