Hey, I'm Nick! Welcome to my little corner of the web. I'm a software engineer interested in deployment infrastructure, systems programming, observability, performance analysis, and web application development.
Currently, I'm working on signup.casa as the founding engineer. In the past, I've worked on media streaming at SoundCloud, backend services at Foundation Devices, observability at Chainlink Labs, and various product and infrastructure initiatives elsewhere.
There's something absolutely magical about software. It's hard for me to remember a time when I didn't love it. Even when it's been challenging I just haven't been able to put it down. Over the years I've really come to value two key factors: simplicity and persistence. I hope this blog can help others on their journey as well.
Outside of programming, I love spending time with my wife, playing competitive disc golf, reading philosophy, and living my Catholic faith.
