Meet Nigel
A Rust and C++ Engineer at heart with a deep intrigue for digital technology, specializing in backend systems and server infrastructure.
Professional Journey
My journey in the tech world began with low-level machine programming and circuit design at the age of 12 in 2012. Over the years, I transitioned into office automation and later ventured into full stack development, with a focus on backend systems. I began my professional career in 2018, working primarily on closed-source projects in office automation, logistics, and financial systems.
Approach
My professional approach is structured: I first ensure functionality, then present it for client approval, and subsequently optimize and secure the solution. This method balances efficiency with future-proofing and security. My goal is to develop systems that other developers can easily take over, providing a stable foundation for continued development.
