Summary
Nick Pearce is a technology consultant based in San Diego with over 25 years of broad business-technology experience and a focus on user-centric, motivational design. He combines deep hands-on skills in programming, database design, systems architecture, and network engineering with a preference for solving real-world client problems rather than coding for its own sake.

Known for translating client needs into practical, auditable systems, he thrives in collaborative engagements that require both technical rigor and user empathy.
