SKILLS
ABOUT NICK MELNICK
Executive Engineering Leader with over 25 years of experience directing high-scale software development, cloud modernization, and organizational turnarounds within fintech and e-commerce. Adept at managing managers and leading distributed teams (up to 60+ personnel) to deliver platforms generating up to $100M in revenue. A strategic partner to the C-suite, specializing in bridging the gap between engineering and the organization, establishing high-velocity agile cultures, and aligning technology with core business goals.Eligible to work in Canada and the United States.I am a technologist and tinkerer at heart, and use that experience to help guide teams through challenges that seem insurmountable, and bridge gaps between engineering, operations, product, and leadership to focus on common goals. Leveraging my experience in both creating and modernizing by transforming teams, processes, and thinking at a foundational level, I partner with leaders to achieve continuous delivery of the right product. I am a strong believer in human-centric leadership, allowing teams to know what needs to be done and have the freedom to do the right thing with a guiding hand. Everyone at the table, leaders to customers, have needs that need to be met. The most successful organizations understand that the best solution takes all into account.I\'ve led fundamental product shifts and fixed plenty of legacy work, written scalable software across the stack, followed and broke trends, and found new ways to solve problems. While I\'ve seen my share of startups, buyouts, and huge companies, I\'ve loved every minute of it, and I\'m always looking for the \"next new thing\" in technology while keeping focus on making things better. I emphasize the bigger picture, without locking myself into a language, technology, or fad.I am always open to coffee or chats about opportunities you\'d like to discuss, never hesitate to reach out.
