Nick has been a wonderful mentor, peer, and friend. I will always
|
|
remember the patience and leadership he demonstrated when I joined our
|
|
team, and he taught me how to be an engineer in a client facing role
|
|
from the ground up. His technical agility has consistently inspired me
|
|
to grow and challenge myself.

Nick is the definition of a utility player. I am so lucky that his
|
|
interests are in mobile development, allowing me the opportunity to see
|
|
his work first hand. Nick has come in and immediately added immense value
|
|
through detailed code reviews, feature creation, service level blueprint
|
|
creation, architecture design, backlog refinement and more. Nick's ability
|
|
to manage and lead team members, both more senior and below his rank, is
|
|
a testament to his leadership skills.
