Nick Zadrozny’s Summary
As a web developer I thrive on helping to discover and shape the vision and scope of an application based on the needs of its users. I enjoy participating on all levels of a project life cycle, from concept and planning through implementation to final deployment and user testing.
As a co-founder and CEO of a non-profit organization I am primarily responsible for assembling, equipping and leading a passionate and effective team. Also, it is my continual responsibility to help clarify and execute our team's vision. My personal goals and projects revolve around the development and application of technology to execute that vision.
As a Christian, I try to live my everyday life emulating and in accordance with the teaching and example of Jesus. My personal and professional goals center on bringing people together and helping them more effectively engage the culture around them with understanding, compassion and vigor.
