Nick is a startup veteran and Internet technology entrepreneur with over 25 years of experience. Before joining Salt Security, Nick spent 4 years with Kong. Arriving early on to help launch Kong Enterprise into the market, he was one of the most tenured Kong employees prior to his departure working as a Principal Solutions Engineer, where he helped organizations understand and realize the benefits of the Kong Service Control Platform. Nick has helped architect and implement some of the largest and most mission critical API Management and digital transformation projects (Monolith to Microservice) in North America. He is also a frequent contributor to the Kong Community Ecosystem, contributing many well known custom plugins he has written that extend the functionality of the Kong API Gateway technology. Prior to Kong, Nick worked early on in various roles for security companies such as MobileIron (Mobile Device, Mobile Data, and Mobile Application Security - IPO 2014) and Vontu (Data Loss Prevention - acquired by Symantec) and founded his own Internet software development company called Yes Interactive where he managed his own engineering team. Nick holds degrees in Mathematics and Computer Science. When not knee deep in API's, code, microservices, containers, and other tech, you can find him up to his knees in snow, skiing throughout Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. Nick and his family reside in the Boston / New England area.
