Nicholas Portfolio

about.

Hello, my name is Nicholas. I'm a full-stack Web Developer based in Miami.

My sense of curiosity and love of exploration led me to work in the yachting industry, where I had the chance to travel to some amazing places, from the Caribbean to Europe and the United States. In that role, I learned how to work effectively in a team and how to think on my feet under pressure, skills that I've found to be valuable in all areas of life.

However, I knew that I was ready for a new challenge, so I decided to dive into the world of coding. As soon as I started learning, I knew that I had found something that I loved. Web development in particular captured my imagination, and I was eager to learn as much as I could about this exciting field.

That's why I enrolled in the Software Engineer Immersive course at General Assembly. This program has allowed me to hone my technical skills and explore my creative interests in a supportive and challenging environment. Now, I'm ready to take the next step and find a role as a developer where I can continue to grow and thrive as part of a dynamic and friendly team.

interests.

Sailing

Sailing has always held a special place in my heart. There's something truly magical about feeling the wind in your hair, the sun on your face, and the waves beneath your feet as you navigate the open water. I love the sense of freedom, adventure, and camaraderie that comes with sailing, and it's a passion that I'll always treasure.
Astronomy

The unknown has always fascinated me, and my passion for space exploration is closely tied to that sense of wonder and curiosity. Looking up at the night sky and wondering about the mysteries it holds is something I find truly captivating. The endless possibilities of the universe, from far-off stars and galaxies to uncharted planets and moons, never cease to amaze and inspire me. Space exploration is a passion that I hold dear and always will.
Scuba Diving

While I enjoy spending time on the water, there's something truly special about being submerged beneath the waves. Diving has opened up an entirely new world to me - one that's impossible to fully appreciate from the surface. There's a sense of awe and wonder that comes with exploring the depths of the ocean and discovering creatures and landscapes that seem otherworldly. It's an experience that's difficult to put into words, but for me, diving is the closest thing to flying.
