About

Here is a little background

My name is Nicolas Blaisdell, or just Nick. I've always had an affinity towards computers and knew I'd somehow work with them as my career in the future. Fast forward to 2011 where I had my first exposure to and experience with programming, and I loved it so much, I knew that's what I would focus my career on. After my first real software engineering job, I learned all about automation, and how it could be used effectively to help people. Now, I'm looking to expand my knowledge and try new things, constantly teaching myself new technologies and looking for ways I can automate things all around me. I love helping others, and I'd love to help you, too!
