My Journey From Nuxt to Directus: The Past, Present, Future

A few thoughts as I begin an exciting new chapter as Director of Engineering at Directus.
My Journey From Nuxt to Directus: The Past, Present, Future

Almost seven years ago, I co-founded Nuxt with my brother Sébastien.

We embarked on a journey that was nothing short of remarkable. Our modest idea blossomed into a community that shared our vision for a more intuitive web.

But life is an endless journey of growth. The call for a new adventure led me to Directus, a place that shares my love for open source and the dream of democratizing data.

It's not just the technical allure but the heart behind Directus that resonated with me.

Directus isn’t just a new workplace, it’s a new community and team with a mission that echoes the same principles Sébastien and I upheld at Nuxt. The emphasis on collaboration, innovation, and the genuine intent to make data accessible for all, drew me in.

As I step into the role of Director of Engineering, the shared vision of not just creating robust tools but fostering a culture of sharing and growth is inspiring.

Ben Haynes and Rijk van Zanten have showcased not just technical prowess but a warmth and understanding of the community-driven ethos. Their vision aligns with what I hold dear.

I am honored to contribute to Directus's journey, to learn, to grow, and to continue nurturing a community that extends beyond code.

I carry with me beautiful memories from Nuxt, a chapter of my life that I will forever hold dear. Now, it’s time to pen down new memories, to face new challenges, and to contribute to another cause that is dedicated to moving forward the Vue.js and open source community. 

Thank you for being a part of this journey. Here’s to new beginnings at Directus, to the remarkable community they have already built and that we will continue building together, and to the endless possibilities that lie ahead!
