Hi, I'm Nick Piegari!

(Web Developer,
Mad Scientist
)

I'm a Philly-based swiss-army-knife 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.

I'm looking for work!

As of July 2026, I'm on a search for part-time gigs or (ideally) a full-time role 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.

You can view my resume or contact me here!
