Nick is one of the most valuable people I have ever met. Both smart and professional. Experienced, deadline oriented and intelligent person. Understands complex matters and for every problem there is a solution from Nick. His focus keeps everything moving smoothly, he makes sure all the deadlines are met, and makes sure that whatever project he is working on meets the highest standards. It is an honor for me to recommend him and endorse him.

Nick is an excellent developer. He looks at problem differently. I have worked with him for an year during my tenure at Ericsson. He always comes up with unique and efficient solutions for problems. I would definitely recommend Nick for his knowledge with Go, shell scripting, devops and java. I remember the time when he came up with unique idea for writing a test framework to debug and solve various function control problems and implemented it in best possible way.
