Hi, I'm Nick and I've been a self taught software developer for about 20 years. Over the years I've worked as a consultant doing contract work for various clients while also hacking away on my own projects because it's what I love to do. I'm also a Docker Captain, which means that Docker personally reached out to me to join their team as a trusted content provider and community leader. Want to learn Docker?
