Nick approaches every task and project (small or large) with the same level of urgency and quality, always going above and beyond to represent his team in the best light possible. I have very rarely seen in my career someone capable of maturing so quickly as a front end developer.

Nick is a key part of our development team and embraces all of Hawkeye's H.U.M.A.N. values (Humble, Unwavering, Masterful, Accountable, and Nimble). He is eager to learn and follows through with an eagerness that displays his genuine love of his profession.

A spotlight on Nick's current aptitudes would be insufficient to capture what makes him an exemplary developer, team member and human being. To be sure, he has cultivated a diverse set of skills that make him a highly effective coder who elevates the capabilities of anyone within his sphere of influence; what sets him apart are the unique aspects of his character—passionate inquisitiveness, pragmatic intellectualism, empathetic dedication—that ensure the excellence he'll embody tomorrow will exceed that which he already demonstrates today.

Developers are a dime a dozen. Good developers are rare. Great developers are rarer than hen's teeth. Then you get to Nick: he's the real diamond in the rough. He always goes above and beyond and seems to have a knack for predicting what the client will ask for next. He's not only full of technical know-how, he also is a fantastic orator and can easily explain just about any technical topic in layman's terms. He is a fantastic team member and I consider him an essential asset to my team.

Nick is an absolute delight to work with. After seeing some of the code and work that Nick has produced in the short time he's been at Dialexa, I truly think he could be one of the top 5 or so quality front-end engineers we have.

As a younger, less experienced developer, I have had the opportunity to bother Nick every day with questions, and every time I can honestly say I have left our conversations more informed and a better developer. In my opinion, Nick's biggest strength is his humble nature and the ability to lead from the front while making sure no one is left behind. This man is an asset.
