I'm Nicola, an independent engineer and consultant. I work with startups and small teams across the whole stack, usually the harder problems: low latency services, distributed systems, and keeping them reliable in production.
Previously founding engineer at Toggl and backend engineer at Domyn.
Most of my best work is proprietary, but the public pieces are below.
- denoland/deno — Refactored
http.ServerResponseto fix Node.js compatibility (unblocked Fastify's test tooling on Deno) - BenLorantfy/nestjs-zod — Treat serialization errors as 5xx instead of 4xx
I write about software and all that's around it at bovolato.dev.
