About Me

Hey, I'm Nick. A full stack developer, usually using JavaScript and PHP to make digital wonders on the web. Technology and finance are my playgrounds, where I translate lines of code into dynamic experiences. Beyond the screen, I dive into triathlons. And when it's time to unwind, you'll find me toasting to victories, big and small, with a carefully chosen craft beer. Join me on this multifaceted journey where code, finance, triathlons, and a love for good brews collide. Cheers to the endless possibilities!
