Hi, I'm Nick Piegari!
(Web Developer, Mad Scientist)
I'm a Philly-based software developer with a focus on front-end / full-stack web development and a generous side of hardware and workflow automation. Formerly a video producer and motion graphic designer, although I still partake occasionally.
He/him.
As of July 2026, I'm on a search for part- or full-time work in front-end or full-stack development. I have seven years of experience as a full-time software developer, the majority of which has been as a subcontractor for the National Institutes of Health, and writing code has been a significant part of my career for over a decade prior to that.
I'd even be interested in roles that could take advantage of my many years as a video producer and motion graphics designer from before my career pivot; developer education comes to mind as a possibility.
