Summary
Nick Brustin is a pragmatic full-stack software engineer with eight years of professional experience and five years focused on React, .NET, and SQL-driven web applications. Currently a Software Engineer IV at the U.S. Small Business Administration, he brings hands-on experience modernizing legacy systems to .NET 6/7/8, introducing TypeScript React front ends, and shaping a microservices and DevOps-oriented architecture. He consistently applies SOLID principles, unit testing, and Entity Framework to deliver maintainable, performant loan and e-commerce systems. Based in Los Angeles, Nick pairs technical rigor with user-focused UI work—moving teams from jQuery/VB.NET to MUI-powered SPAs—and often blends cloud-native patterns like Azure Functions into pragmatic solutions. Outside work he’s an avid cyclist who recharges by riding around the city with his dog Scout, a habit that keeps his problem-solving energy sharp.
