Hey, I'm Nick πŸ‘‹

Senior engineer with 23+ years of turning caffeine into production systems. Been shipping code since 2003 β€” did 9 years for the DoD before going private sector. Currently deep in AWS, Go, and TypeScript β€” though I've written enough JavaScript to qualify for a support group.

US patent holder. Open source maintainer. Somehow responsible for packages that get half a million downloads per week and I'm still not sure how that happened.

The numbers

Package Weekly Downloads What it does
debug-fabulous ~526k Lazy-eval debug logging that doesn't murder your CPU
angular-simple-logger ~8k Logger for AngularJS apps that refuse to die
cfn-include ~4.6k CloudFormation preprocessor for the brave
angular-google-maps ~2.2k Google Maps + AngularJS. Yes, still.

What I'm into

  • AWS β€” if it's a service, I've probably broken it at least once
  • Go β€” for when you want your code to compile faster than your coffee brews
  • TypeScript β€” JavaScript but with a conscience
  • Open Source β€” maintaining packages people depend on, whether I like it or not
  • Infrastructure β€” Terraform, CloudFormation, and the quiet desperation that comes with YAML

Current projects

  • 🧱 brickhouse-tech β€” my tools & products org. We adopt orphaned npm packages and give them working CI.
  • πŸ€– aws-sdk-go-v2-ifaces β€” auto-generated Go interfaces for every AWS SDK v2 service. Because mocking AWS shouldn't require a PhD.
  • πŸ₯ lax_cread β€” lacrosse stats site, because my kids are faster than my deploy pipeline

Philosophy

if it's broken, fix it
if it's abandoned, adopt it  
if it works, ship it
if it's YAML, pray
