Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Pirocanac is a principal engineer and seasoned technology leader with over 25 years building high-scale, revenue-critical cloud-native APIs and platforms. He has led global teams and driven resilient architectures at Ticketmaster—where his resale APIs and Kafka-based inventory systems now account for a material share of company profits—and more recently has been shaping SaaS and payments platforms with robust IaC, observability, and compliance practices. Nick blends deep hands-on expertise across .NET/C#, TypeScript, AWS/Azure, Kubernetes, Terraform and Redis with a proven ability to standardize engineering processes, SLOs/SLA-driven operations, and security-first designs like PCI/CCPA/1099K solutions. He is as comfortable sketching SLT-ready diagrams and compliance plans as he is shipping prototype Blazor front-ends and open-source SDKs, and he has a track record of rescuing and stabilizing high-stakes systems under tight deadlines. Based in Wisconsin, he pairs long-tenured product knowledge with a pragmatic focus on developer productivity and measurable delivery velocity.
