Summary
👤
SeniorNicholas D is an Applications Engineer with eight years of hands-on experience building and supporting software and motion-control solutions, currently helping customers integrate Teknic’s servo systems. He combines embedded C/C++ and C# firmware work with cloud and web development experience from projects using Azure, Vue/Nuxt, SQL, and microservices. Nicholas has a strong customer-facing background—remotely tuning motors, sizing servos, and producing code samples and documentation that accelerate customer success. His time in academic tech support and municipal roles sharpened his troubleshooting, communication, and process-automation skills under real user pressure. He’s comfortable across the stack, from API and backend development to multimedia production and teaching, and he brings practical experience with TDD, pair programming, and distributed team collaboration. Outside core engineering, he has repeatedly turned operational needs into automated tools (e.g., a Chromebook repair automation) that deliver measurable efficiency gains.
