About Me
My name is Nick, and I'm a software engineering coach.
I'm Nick Wilson - a software engineering manager, writer, and coach. I help teams deliver real value by aligning with missions that serve users before writing code.
Over the past 17 years I've built lots of bad software (and some good, too!), led a dozen-or-so engineering teams and coached, mentored and grown dozens of engineers.
My coaching work focuses heavily on the importance of strong, personal values, clear boundaries, and empathy for both self and others, which creates environments where people can do their best work and grow with intent.
I believe collaboration requires clarity, growth takes patience, and results matter - but so does having fun.
When I'm not at work I might be chasing my dream of being a rock star, or chasing my dream of being an indie game dev, or, you know, just dreaming 💤.
