The Professional Story of Nicholas Wainer

My Story

I was brought up in Maine with nature at my front door and a strong drive to explore the world around me. I got into photography and drumming early on in my life, keeping me always at the edge of my seat in terms of new and innovative technology. I started by just taking apart random electronics until the day I built my very first Desktop PC. This propelled me further into the world of software and development that I am now surrounded by today. My goal for the future is to mold all of these different perspectives together into something new and exciting that this world has yet to experience. I promise I have more energy than you and I will work until the goal is achieved.

Creative Solutions

Some problems have complicated solutions and for me finding the most creative, but efficient, route to success is always my top priority.

Analytical Mindset

I always work to balance my creative mind with realistic timeframes and good documentation to always have the most precise and error free outcome.

Multitasker

If there is a deadline I can get it done no matter what, but I create much better solutions when stepping back and forth between all the moving pieces.
