Meet Our Team – Quick Q&A with Nick
We’re excited to welcome Nick to our growing US team at COS Systems. Based in Deerfield Beach, FL, he’ll be working closely with our North American customers and partners to drive product development and provide local support. Get to know him in this quick Q&A.
Tell us a little bit about yourself – who are you, and what is your background?
I’m Nick, and I come from a background in software engineering across a variety of business domains, including domain and hosting resellers, legal technology, and managed home repair. I’ve spent the past 10 years working in engineering departments, where I focused on leading technology initiatives and architecting business-critical systems. Originally from New York, I’ve always been passionate about leveraging the latest technology to solve real-world problems.
You’re joining our growing (US) team – what will you be working on, and how does your role strengthen COS Systems in North America?
I’ll be focusing on developing our Wholesale Engine application. My background in architecting business-critical systems will help strengthen the product as we grow, and being US-based means I can work more closely with our North American customers and partners to ensure they feel fully supported.
What caught your interest in COS Systems?
A few things stood out to me. First, the company culture—it was clear from my conversations that COS Systems values its people and fosters a collaborative environment. I was also excited about the autonomy I’ll have as an engineer to make meaningful contributions. On the technical side, the opportunity to work within the Laravel framework and ecosystem was a big draw. And ultimately, I wanted to join a company that genuinely cares about innovation—not just as a buzzword, but as part of how they operate.
What are your goals for the coming months in your new role?
In the short term, I want to get up to speed on the COS product offerings, build relationships with key customers, and understand the US market landscape. Long-term, I’m aiming to become a go-to resource for our products and contribute to technical decisions that shape their future.
What are you most excited about when it comes to working with COS customers and partners in the US?
I’m most excited about learning a business domain that’s new to me, helping solve real challenges for customers, seeing the impact of our solutions firsthand, and building long-term partnerships. The US market has so much opportunity for growth, and I can’t wait to be part of it.
Tell us a fun fact about yourself.
I’ve recently started prioritizing international travel with the goal of visiting a new destination at least once a year. I love learning about new cultures and ways of life—last year was Thailand, and next up is Italy. I also play ice hockey weekly in recreational adult leagues.
What’s your go-to productivity hack when things get busy?
I throw on classical music or electronic dance music when I want to focus on writing code or developing architectural solutions.
If you could instantly become an expert in one new skill, what would it be?
Speaking another language fluently. I’d choose this because of my love for international travel.
What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long workday?
Playing video games, watching sports, and catching up on TV.
Lastly, what’s one word your friends or colleagues would use to describe you?
Adaptable
