# Nicholas Fray > Senior Software Engineer Location: Denver, Colorado, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholasfray I’m a Senior Software Engineer with extensive experience in various TypeScript technologies. I have a deep passion for translating user pains and needs into beautiful and accessible applications that improve work and life in meaningful ways.
