My name is Victor Nicollet. I’m a start-up founder and an expert in user interface design and open-source web technologies. I’m also available for short consulting missions on these topics in the Paris area.
My latest start-up is RunOrg, an online tool that helps associations, organizations, communities and unions manage their members, contacts and activities. You can read more about it here, or go directly to the RunOrg project web page (in French).

Recent World Domination Schemes
I was the Dark Overlord of all things related to PHP and JavaScript at Tangane, a small software company near Paris, from 2008 to 2010. In case you were wondering, a Dark Overlord is an unholy mix of a Project Manager and a Tech Expert, with a sprinkle of Human Resources and R&D—those henchmen and death rays don’t grow on trees, you know. I have managed eight different projects, leading teams of two to seven people in Paris, Lyon, Argentina and Algeria, and provided my two technical cents to several other projects in Java and .NET. While intranet projects obviously can’t be seen, some of these projects are actually on the internet:
Jamin Puech (www.jamin-puech.com)
A Magento-based e-Commerce web site for fashionable handbags.
Matching Numbers (www.matching-numbers.net)
An exclusive online club for exceptional car owners. Features Facebook-like full AJAX navigation.
Tangane (www.tangane.com)
Our corporate website. Nothing special in itself, but it sits atop an open source CMS that was heavily modified to support multiple websites with one install.
The Early Years
Before I joined Tangane, I studied Computer Science (MSc, 2007) and Economical Science (MSc, also 2007) at the Ecole normale supérieure in Paris.
I used to be a part-time C++ video game developer eventually releasing in late 2004 a $9.95 PocketPC game called Darklaga : Cannonball Symphony. This also led me to contributing two articles to two books on game development:
Beginning Game Programming (ISBN: 159863805X)
Design and Content Creation (ISBN: 1598638084)
I also worked as a Computer Science Teaching Assistant from 2005 to 2009 for the Caml Light courses at the Lycée Louis le Grand.
