Nicolas Degen

I'm a Swiss engineer and creative that recently moved to New York. My love for maths and physics drove me into robotics, but through coding and my creativity and passion for design I found my place in frontend-heavy product development.

Thinking a lot about woodwork, gardening, rockets and farming.

I enjoy skiing, sailing and cooking.
