About me

Hi, I’m Nicolas. I was born in 1996 and raised in the beautiful and sunny region of Ticino, Switzerland.

Today, I’m based in Bern, working as full-stack engineer at a startup that’s on a mission to bring real innovation to one of the most traditional, slow-moving industries out there. We’re using technology to challenge the status quo and it’s as exciting as it sounds.

From a young age, I’ve been driven by curiosity. Whether it was taking apart Lego sets, trying to understand machines and computers, or simply figuring out what makes people tick, I’ve always loved learning how things work, and while my early experiments were fueled by spontaneous bursts of interest, I later discovered that focus can transform that instinctive and sporadic drive into something truly valuable.

Computer Science and the digital world instantly resonated with my need for expression. It’s a fast-evolving, fluid space, constantly shifting and expanding. It offers endless opportunities for discovery, continuous learning, and technical challenges, all while allowing for unlimited freedom in creativity and self-expression. There’s something uniquely empowering about sitting down at a desk, opening a laptop, and being able to build something valuable from nothing — well, almost nothing.

Outside of work, you’ll most likely find me in the mountains. I’ve always been drawn to nature and the outdoors, especially mountains who as time has passed have become my most beloved playground. I’m passionate about outdoor sports like trail running and climbing — and while I might describe myself as a type 2 fun enjoyer, it’s not just for the physical challenge, but mostly as a way to explore more of the world. I see movement as a means to discovery.

I created this site to share my journey through the projects I’m working on, ideas I’m exploring, things I’m learning, and, of course, the occasional adventure story.

Feel free to drop me a line at hello@divin.me — I’ll try to get back to you asap.
