Nick M.

As a senior software engineer and architect, I have over 25 years experience partnering with businesses to transform their ideas into functional software products. I excel at software engineering, software architecture design and planning, leading development teams, writing technical specifications, and designing user interfaces and experiences.

My work spans development of both enterprise and consumer applications with a focus on artificial intelligence, e-commerce and online payments, iOS and Android applications, API integrations, hardware integrations, server administration, automations, content management, web development, and SEO - all with an emphasis on exceptional design.

I understand the importance of striking a balance between timeline, budget and feature set when designing and phasing a project, ensuring it works realistically within a business’ constraints. My communication style is clear, concise and transparent. When you hire me, you gain a team player that takes full ownership of his assignments and is guided by a relentless work ethic.
