“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any."
1 Cor 6:12

“I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."
Romans 12:1-2

“Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, but is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel”
2 Timothy 1

His primary projects were network design and hardware/vendor evaluation for the transition to 400G at the peering edge, and building up a robust tool set to proactively monitor and communicate network performance.

In January of 2025, Nick began to work for The Walt Disney Company as a Senior Network Engineer primarily focused on expanding the reach of Disney Edge (AS23344, AS22604), Disney’s first party CDN, as well as various network engineering aspects of the data center network for the streaming organization at Disney.
