Bio
Benjamin Ugbene
Nik is a very experienced and proficient Senior Software engineer. When we worked together, he was able to work on his own initiative. He participated effectively in tech design discussions, and the implementation of the outcome. He organised knowledge sharing sessions, to pass on knowledge he had gained - whether from a spike he investigated, or a new programming language or technology he had been playing with. He knew when to make tradeoffs, but also when to push for things to be done right. I was comfortable leaving the team in his care, knowing things would still be in order. I would recommend Nik to any org looking for a highly proficient Senior Software engineer.

I worked with Nick for over five years at WorldFirst, where I had the opportunity to witness his exceptional skills as a developer proficient in both back-end and front-end development. He is an outstanding developer and a fantastic team member. Together, we tackled various projects at WorldFirst, such as CRM systems, Salesforce integration, and migration to Alipay systems. I have complete confidence in Nick's ability to deliver high-quality code even under challenging time constraints. It was a real pleasure to work with Nick as he is a consistently high performer and his work is always first-rate.
