Nick began contributing to Apache projects in 2003, and hasn't looked back since! Most of the projects Nick has worked in belong in the "Content" space, such as Apache POI (ex-PMC Chair), Apache Tika and Apache Chemistry. As well as coding projects, Nick is also involved in a number of foundation-wide activities, including Conferences, Travel Assistance, Community Development and the Incubator.

Nick works as the CTO at Quanticate, a Clinical Research Organisation (CRO) with a strong focus on data, statistics and medical writing.
