About Mark Nichting

Did you know React powers over 3 million websites in the US alone? It is hard to debate the impact of React and open-source software (fun fact: WordPress is also open-source).As a software engineer, I love learning how the world works and contributing to shaping the future. I\'m driven by questions like- What makes a great engineer- How can we build this- How can we make this better- How can we build something that impacts millions or billions of users?Most recently, I have been working at Tixologi. In this ticketing startup, I have worked with an incredible team to build a product to take down the titans of ticketing. At Tixologi, I took on big projects like launching a new purchasing platform using React, TypeScript, and Cypress that drove 10x sales growth in just three months.Before my time at Tixologi, I worked with an open-source accelerator to build an open-source tool named Khartes. Khartes strives to improve the developer experience and save time by monitoring Kubernetes clusters and automating YAML reconfiguration when necessary. I worked across the stack, including work to deliver core functionality by scraping Kubernetes Pod and Node metrics with Prometheus and Node.js.Let’s connect!Github: https://github.com/marknichtingSources:https://trends.builtwith.com/javascript/React
