About Me

Nicolas R. - Profile Photo

Nicolas R. ("atoomic") is a WebPros technology leader and AI-driven engineering advocate. With deep expertise in Perl, CPAN, and hosting platforms, he now focuses on agentic orchestration, AI-assisted development workflows, and modern DevOps architecture. His work bridges traditional systems engineering with intelligent automation to help teams scale software delivery through Agentic orchestration.

An active contributor to the Perl community and CPAN ecosystem, Nicolas maintains open-source modules including B::COW, Simple::Accessor, Clone, and Slack::WebHook, and built tools like grep.metacpan.org. He regularly presents at major conferences on topics from XS programming to memory profiling. Today, he channels this deep systems expertise into AI-powered engineering — designing agentic workflows with LLMs, building RAG pipelines, and championing AI-assisted development practices that accelerate team delivery across WebPros product lines.
