Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Perkins is an Associate Engineering Manager with 11 years of experience building and leading platform, DevOps, and cloud engineering teams across enterprise and high-traffic SaaS environments. He has driven platform adoption at scale—from designing a Pipeline-as-a-Service used by ~30 services to guiding migrations from legacy build systems to shared CI/CD platforms—while mentoring engineers and shaping technical direction. At Secure Code Warrior he combines hands-on engineering with people leadership, owning delivery, performance management, and cross-functional alignment for developer-facing security tools. He’s comfortable bridging product, design, and principal engineers to turn ambiguous requirements into reliable, measurable outcomes. Based in Queensland, Australia, Nick pairs pragmatic implementation skills (from serverless to Kubernetes) with strong stakeholder communication and a knack for bringing fragmented teams together. Outside work he’s a practical coder who builds tools he hopes others find useful, and recently founded Volunteer Hub to channel his organisational and technical experience into community impact.
