Profile: https://flows.cv/nickgalloway

I am a highly collaborative, detail-oriented, user-focused senior software engineer with 7+ years of experience. I frequently work full-stack, but my expertise is frontend web. I approach my solutions with performance, maintainability, and robustness. I approach my teammates with respect, empathy, and positivity. Finally, I always stay curious, continually learning and welcoming intriguing new ideas. If this resonates, I would love to talk.
