Summary
Nick Edwards is a Senior Developer based in Glasgow with 10+ years building and modernising web applications, especially in PHP/Laravel and ecommerce integrations. He combines hands-on backend API and performance optimisation experience with practical DevOps skills—containerising legacy CodeIgniter apps into microservices, introducing CI/CD pipelines, and reducing AWS costs. Nick has led small engineering teams and run technical migrations to Docker and Kubernetes on Azure, while also shipping customer-facing products using Vue and React. Active in the local tech community, he organises Glasgow PHP meetups and brings rare cross-domain experience from payment and EPOS integrations to analytics and email marketing systems. His background marrying legacy maintenance with incremental modernisation makes him effective at turning high-traffic, bespoke systems into maintainable, cloud-native platforms.
