À propos de Nicholas
I have been coding professionally for 15 years. I worked 9 years in the silicon valley including a year and a half with Apple.
Apart from Apple I have mostly worked with startups. I have had a lasting drastic impact on every engineering team I've come across. I was the first engineer hired at Pricematch a company that has since sold to booking.com.
Today I founded gembani to help teams dev better. I show engineering teams and management a pragmatic approach to accepting and living the agile way. More info is available on my website. Extensive resume is available on linkedin with some great recommendations.
