Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Westby is a Senior Software Engineer with over two decades of hands-on experience building full-stack web, mobile, and desktop applications while also owning DevOps and platform architecture. He has repeatedly driven long-term agency success by creating reusable foundations—starter kits, a popular open-source Umbraco Formulate tool, C# NuGet libraries, and a frontend component kit—resulting in faster delivery, better accessibility, and consistently high page speed scores. Promoted multiple times to roles including Associate Technology Director and Principal Software Engineer, he blends meticulous, data-driven estimation and attention to detail with big-picture architectural leadership. Based in Tacoma, WA, he pairs agency-scale CMS and frontend expertise (vanilla JS, Sass, Umbraco/Contentful) with creative explorations in Three.js and real-time WebGL experiences. He also ships independent projects—from a cross-platform React Native movie discovery app to specialized WebP tooling—demonstrating both product sensibility and deep implementation chops.
