Hey, I'm Nick. 👋
I'm currently a senior software engineer at Shopify. I write broadly about what I learn and observe about technology, living a meaningful life, and communicating well.
If you're new here and not sure where to start, I recommend reading something recent below or browsing by topic.
Update - a new home for new posts: From April 2022, I will be publishing exclusively through my newsletter. I laid out my reason in the first dispatch - scroll to "finding my tribe."
