We have worked with Nick for 2.5 years on developing an in-house transaction monitoring system and many other compliance automation projects. Hired in early 2021, Nick had no experience with Python that we've been using in the dev team. In just two weeks, Nick started to write beautiful idiomatic Python and became fully productive with the language and its ecosystem! Nick has exceptional debugging skills. They allow him to find a needle in the haystack of microservices. Nick's other superpower is maintaining the code. Almost all his contributions to the code reduce the technical debt, not grow it. By following the boy scout rule "always leave the campground cleaner than you found it", Nick also sets higher standards for the team. It's a beneficial long-term strategy for our team that works on complex technical projects. Nick is also one of the best duty engineers I've worked with. He's always ready to help the users and support team as second-line support. He also uses duty engineering rotas to fix annoying bugs that otherwise would interrupt developers from something important. Nick excels at code reviews. He finds bugs and suggests how to simplify the code. He never wastes time on the "bikeshedding" matters. Quick, thoughtful, and friendly is Nick's code review approach! In addition to excellent technical skills, Nick also has well-developed soft skills. He's well organized. He communicates with ease across the teams and roles. That makes him a valuable asset to remote-first distributed flat-structured companies. All in all, Nick is a fantastic software developer! I would love to work with him in the future. I highly recommend Nick for any software engineering position.
