Summary
Nick Cacace is a Senior Engineer with 11 years of experience building and modernizing web applications in Financial Technology and HR/Payroll, currently driving engineering work at American Express in New York. He combines front-end expertise in React, Angular (and legacy AngularJS) with back-end and tooling skills in Node.js, MongoDB, CI/CD and automation to shorten time-to-market and increase platform stability. At American Express he led loan acquisition efforts, introduced automated deployment pipelines, and created internal developer tools like an npmjs.com clone and CLI utilities to streamline engineering workflows.

Nick’s background—an MS in Computer Science following a BA in Political Science—paired with hands-on roles from mechanic to EMT volunteer, reflects a pragmatic, systems-minded engineer who thrives on solving operational friction as much as shipping features.
