Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Payne is a founder and experienced software engineer with 16 years building SaaS products, from solo startups to large international platforms. He studied Software Engineering at Newcastle University and has held senior technical leadership roles including VP Platform Architecture at Genesis Global and Senior Principal Engineer at Flutter International. Nick now focuses on product-led ventures such as talat (a private meeting notes app) and fitIQ, combining pragmatic engineering with a founder's instinct for solving real user "itches"—some projects driven by curiosity rather than immediate revenue. An open source maintainer and collaborator, he enjoys both solo problem-solving and working with others to ship reliable systems. Based in Leeds, he’s not actively job-seeking but welcomes interesting conversations across tech and beyond.
