Built beyond
the happy path.
Projects shaped around the questions real systems have to answer: how data moves, where state lives, and what happens when things fail.
CommitScope
An AWS-backed developer analytics pipeline that turns Git history into queryable code-health datasets and decision-ready dashboards.
Kafka Security Benchmarking
A dissertation-grade AWS experiment comparing the performance cost of plaintext, TLS and mutual TLS Kafka configurations.
More engineering, experiments and works in progress.

Learn deeply.
Ship deliberately.
I bring product delivery, technical research and leadership into the same room. The result is engineering that considers both the system and the people relying on it.

03 / About
Engineer.
Explorer.
Community builder.
I’m Nick — a final-year MEng Software Engineering student at the University of Sheffield, drawn to backend, cloud and distributed systems.
I like software most at the seams: where one service meets another, where infrastructure turns source code into a working system, and where a technical decision becomes an experience for a real person.
Away from the architecture diagrams, I’ve led a student community, taught programming, built education products and competed in hackathons. I’m happiest when I’m learning quickly and making the work useful.
