Nicolas Vega Terrazas
Software developer
A seasoned Mexican-German software developer with over 9 years of coding experience, including more than 3 years specializing in React and Node.js. I have a diverse portfolio, having built dashboards, search engines, WYSIWYG editors, accounting tools, marketplaces, portfolios, and more. Currently, I am the co-founder and CTO of Gridlink, a company focused on saving costs for the construction of renewable energy projects. At the same time, I am working with one of the main teams for the CMS system at the largest news publisher in Europe. I have experience working in both large and small teams, within big organizations, and independently from scratch. Additionally, I was the technical leader and co-founder of our family business, Weno, a marketplace that allows users to discover and book experiences with local wine producers in Ensenada, Baja California. Although the business didn't succeed, it provided valuable experience as a startup founder.
