About me
Currently working as a Senior Software Engineer, I am curious about many domains and languages of IT.
Hello, my name is Nicolas Faure, also known under the name of Spark, and I'm a developer based in Paris.
I'm both a web (front and back-end) and an application developer.
I also have always been very interested in international, therefore going on a study semester in South Korea and a 5 months internship in Shanghai, China.
I entered the world of programming through web development years ago, and it was a field that always struck me from the start as very interesting. While I kept on learning on it, I also discovered application development and started learning it as well.
Since then, I learnt many things in many fields of IT, through the teachings at EPITA as well as my own personal research.
