About Me

Hi! I’m Nick, a backend developer with a growing interest in frontend development. I’m passionate about building reliable systems and sharing my journey through building in public.

Professional Journey

My career has taken me through various technologies and sectors:

  • Functional Programming: Started with Erlang and later Elixir, diving deep into functional programming.
  • Serverless Applications: Built serverless applications using TypeScript and React on AWS.
  • Public Sector: Worked in the public sector with Go and React.
  • Startup Environment: Currently at a startup, working with Python, Django, and React.
  • Observability and SRE: Strong focus on Observability and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) practices.
