Will Nickson

Full stack developer

I'm a software engineer with over six years of experience building robust, pixel-perfect products.

I run a design and development studio called Nettle, where we help clients build distinctive brands and custom digital solutions for their business needs.

I'm also building CityLife, a platform that provides curated travel guides for cities around the world.

Previously, I worked as a full-stack software engineer at Relative Insight, the world's leading AI-driven customer intelligence platform.

About

I'm Will, a full-stack developer from Lancaster in the North West of England.

I normally work on projects using Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, Framer Motion and SQL. I'm passionate about creating efficient, user-centric products that people find useful.

In my spare time, I'm either working on my own projects, renovating my house or heading up to the Lake District to go walking and camping.
