TL;DR
Nicolas Funke — Full-stack JavaScript developer (React, Node, Vue, 10+ years experience) - Remote only
hello[at]nicolasfunke.com
I welcome you, dear visitor, into this bare but nevertheless interesting page, which is a personnal tribute to the HTML of my youth.
Here you won't find any Google Fonts or jQuery. Even less of NodeJs, PHP or Jekyll. This page is the quintessence of the Internet : an HTML page just as we like.
And yes, this website is a troll to all of the templates I have used in my life
My name is Nicolas Funke, French-German-Basque (with some love for delicious pilsners), born developer, during the unforgettable year of 1987 : World population is estimated to have reached five billion people, President Ronald Reagan challenges Soviet Premier Mikhail Gorbachev to tear down the Berlin Wall. The Golden Gate Bridge celebrate its 50 years. And if you are into wine you should know that 1987 is a pretty average and uninteresting year.
Born in Biarritz, I moved quite a lot during and after my studies (you can
see the timeline on my
LinkedIn
profile), to settle in
San Francisco
in 2013!
The city of the gold rush where the Beat Generation was born. Known for
her famous Alcatraz prison who hosted Al Capone and Frank Morris and more
recently for the insanely expensive rent prices. During the COVID pandemic
I moved to Maui and I never left.
I'm also fond of music and a
producer
and DJ speaking
French, German, Spanish and English fluently.
In my life as a freelance developer, I mostly work with almost everything that relates to Javascript (apparently it's freaking hot nowadays!) and every project that I share my values with:
You should know too that I exclusively work on remote mission, even though I'm not savage enough to refuse real life (billed) meetings.
