Profile: https://flows.cv/nikolaimerritt

As a Full-Stack Software Engineer at Reversec (formerly WithSecure), I design and build solutions that solve real business problems. I took ownership of an AI-powered report-writing application that cut consultant delivery time in half, and I'm the sole maintainer of a critical legacy C# server where I've dramatically improved performance. Before this, I developed TypeDB Cloud at Vaticle, implementing a highly concurrent Rust backend and building multi-cloud infrastructure with Kubernetes and Terraform.

I studied Computer Science at Imperial College London and Mathematics at the University of Manchester. I'm driven by a passion for solving complex problems with elegant solutions, and I thrive when taking ownership of challenging projects that need to ship under pressure.
