Nick is currently living in Oxford. He works for Alfresco in Maidenhead, having a great time being paid to develop open source software, build communities, mentor people on open development, and other such things. He has a work blog where he tends to write about new code and features he is writing for Alfresco. Continuing with the open source theme, he is a member of the Apache Software Foundation, and a big believer in open source and open development, so he is often to be found contributing to other open projects too.

Before Alfresco, he worked for nearly 7 years Torchbox, a web / java / python / django / xml / etc firm just north of Oxford. There he architected and developed software and systems for a variety of non-profit and environmental firms. Towards the end of his time at Torchbox, he was also CTO of CarbonHero, the Green Tech startup behind the CarbonDiem, though he has now passed that mantle on.
Before all that, he attended Magdalen College, which is what drew him to Oxford in the first place. There he spent his 4th year as a Computational Chemist in the Madden Group, at the end of which he wrote his Masters Thesis.
