Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Beukema is a seasoned VP of Technology and full-stack engineer with 11 years of experience building scalable web platforms across FinTech, EdTech, and consulting engagements. He combines hands-on expertise in Node, React, GraphQL, Python/ML, .NET Core and Ruby on Rails with strong DevOps practice on AWS and Azure to take products from discovery to production. Nick has led platform builds and client-facing projects—most recently steering technology at Fifth Wheel Freight after senior roles at Wedge and TiiCKER—while also running end-to-end client relationships and technical hiring. A Grand Valley State University CS graduate, he’s comfortable both mentoring teams and diving deep into architecture, data pipelines, and automated deployments. Less obvious: he has a long track record of migrating and modernizing legacy stacks (Backbone→Ember, RSpec/Cucumber testing, database ETL) which helps him deliver pragmatic, durable systems.
