Summary
Nick P is a Principal Architect with a decade of engineering experience building distributed systems, cloud-native services, and user-focused applications across startups and enterprise teams. He blends strong theoretical grounding in mathematics and economics with hands-on expertise in Rust, Go, Elixir, and modern front-end frameworks like Svelte/SolidJS, favoring precise DOM control and low bundle sizes. Nick has driven architecture and delivery at companies such as Quarterhill, Cogniac, and Photon Health, with a track record of shipping CI/CD tooling, Kubernetes API extensions, and WebAssembly-enabled tooling. A self-described state-machine aficionado, he enjoys low-level tinkering—often with solder and 3D printing—and brings that maker mindset to systems design and reliability work. He values equitable compensation and prioritizes knowledge, attitude, and culture when building teams, and frequently chooses practical, language-appropriate solutions over dogmatic patterns.
