About Me

What am I all about?

Nick Collins

<- This is what I look like.

Programming

I studied Computer Science and Business Admin at Fort Lewis College (2005 - 2010). After schooling I went to work as a Database Admin/Developer and eventually a Software Engineer. I have enjoyed working in all levels of the engineering stack and hope to continue to learn new aspects of the business of software development.

Hobbies

Crafting, making, hacking, tinkering. Whatever you call it, I like it. It is fun to come up with creative projects to build and utilize in every day life. I like to understand how things work.

Durango Life

Durango, Colorado is an amazing place to live. The nearby mountains offer many options for outdoor sports throughout the year. I enjoy skiing at Purgatory Resort, mountain biking, hiking, disc golfing, and paddle boarding the Animas River or Lake Nighthorse.
