Bio
Michelle Gilmore
Nicholas is bright, committed and will challenge you. He has made every product we've worked on together better and I welcome any chance to work with him. He's got all the usual stuff too, professional and open with communication etc, but his intelligence and unique approach are what caught my attention. He's a delight to work with.

Nick and I worked together at Erudine and he is one of the most talented developers I have ever worked with. His grasp of the problem domain and the technologies was second to none and would be the first port of call for most developers on the project. Pairing with Nick was always good fun and hopefully he enjoyed it too! I would be happy to work with Nick again in the future if the opportunity ever arose.
