Discover the members of Aqsone through personal stories. Immerse yourself in the universe of Nicolas, Data Scientist, and explore his aspirations, his vision of the world, and his impact on the Aqsone team.”

What is your greatest personal accomplishment?

To have succeeded in carrying out my studies, my early career and my rugby career at the same time.

If you were a season?

Summer without any hesitation. I love the sun, the heat and spending time with my sweetheart or my friends by the pool.

What does success mean to you?

Look at how far we've come and be proud of it!

Do you have a favorite quote?

Courage is not the absence of fear, but the ability to overcome what is scary. Nelson Mandela

What is your ideal vacation?

On the beach by the ocean, sunglasses on your nose and a cap on your head.

If Hollywood made a movie about your life, who would you like to see in your role?

For the hair resemblance I would say Jason Statham or Vin Diesel ahaha! If not, Ryan Gosling, Vincent Cassel, or Samuel L. Jackson

What does a typical day at work look like and what projects are you currently working on?

Even if each day is different because the topics covered are different, the organization remains generally the same. It often starts with a series of meetings, including an appointment with the development team (Aqsone + client) to discuss topics to be addressed and priorities to be established.

Then, another meeting is reserved exclusively for the Aqsone team to ensure the smooth running of operations and assess possible risks.

The rest of the day is mainly devoted to the development of new solutions or to the interaction with the customer and/or my manager.

In three words, how would you describe your role?

My current role is Mission Manager. Summarizing this in three words is not an easy task but I would say:

  • Leader, for the responsibility for the good conduct of the mission
  • Relay, for management
  • Data, for my daily activities

What is your best professional memory at Aqsone?

There were many positive moments at Aqsone, whether directly related to my activity as a data scientist or even to moments in my life such as during the Winter or Summer Events.

But if I had to remember only one I would say my first annual interview. First it was the first annual interview of my life and then that's when I felt all the confidence that Aqsone could have in me after my first year and it's very rewarding.

What do you look for in your colleagues?

Integrity, honesty and trust.

Among my colleagues, I am above all looking for human values because I am convinced that this is essential to successfully carry out projects.

If you were a dish

A dish to share, of course, but as I said before I love summer. So I'm going to go on a piece of beef (rib, T-bone, tomahawk...) cooked on the barbecue. For the side dish I would go either with baby potatoes or with small fries. Of course some small sauces — béarnaise, pepper sauce... — homemade to accompany all this. And finally a beautiful bottle of wine to enhance all this, surely a wine from the Rhône Valley with Syrah as the main grape variety.

If you were a dessert

The cake made by my mother for my birthday: a homemade Breton platter, a layer of mascarpone with vanilla and an assortment of nicely arranged fresh fruits (the advantage of being born in June).

If you were a sport

Soccer without hesitation!
