Hi! I'm Nick, a software developer with deep passions in astronomy. I am a full-stack developer who focuses on maximizing velocity and minimizing complexity, enabling fast iteration, safe deployments, and scalability. I also snowboard, solve Rubik's cubes competitively, and unicycle. But mostly I just have approximate knowledge in many things!
