Nic Wise is a pragmatic Head of Engineering with 25+ years in software development, architecture and leadership, fluent across the Microsoft .NET stack and modern mobile and Node.js ecosystems (TypeScript, React/React Native, GraphQL). He combines hands-on engineering—shipping mobile apps, cloud migrations, high-load web platforms and SRE/DevOps work—with product and team leadership, currently steering engineering at Tend Health to improve population health in New Zealand. A former Microsoft and Xamarin MVP who has spoken at international conferences, Nic has led large-scale CMS and media projects (UMG, BBC) and built award-winning consumer apps in his spare time. Comfortable on Mac or Windows, he’s equally at home designing architectures, running build/release pipelines, or prototyping mobile features from designer mockups. Notably, he started as an engineer and worked his way to Head of Engineering, retaining a developer’s curiosity and penchant for practical, cross-disciplinary solutions.
