Welcome to my Minnect! My name is Nick. I am former military and currently working as a Director of Software Engineering on different .Net MVC web applications with over 13 years of experience in the IT field. I went from making less than 30k a year to over six figures while getting promoted 5 times in less than eight years with no degree because of my drive and passion for knowledge. I have experience in a variety of different coding languages (although I specialize in the .Net stack), IT systems, and IT infrastructure. It’s not sufficient to understand those topics alone. Cyber attacks are on the rise and it important to understand how to not only code and set up systems, but to mitigate as much security risk as possible. I have knowledge in that arena as well. You can ask me anything from how to get your foot in the door with development opportunities and how to position yourself to become a necessary asset to your company to how to utilize the best technologies to accomplish your development/IT needs. If you want to reach out to shoot the breeze with someone with similar interests, I am here for that as well.
