Nico Neiman

Front End Engineer at Neo Financial

I build pixel-perfect, engaging, and accessible digital experiences.

BIO

Back in 2019, I connected the knowledge in visual communication acquired through my roles as a photographer and designer into the rabbit hole of coding and web development.

Fast-forward to today, and I've built software for diverse ventures including a farm accounting start-upan agronomics corp. connecting dozens of 3rd-party integrationsa data visualization company handling massive data sets, a retail intelligence start-up processing big data in real-timeand a FinTech startup serving users' needs with zero downtime.

My main focus these days is building products and leading projectsat Neo Financial. I enjoy building software in the sweet spotwhere design and engineering meet — things that look good but are also built well under the hood. In my free time, I like to unplug and recharge by playing djembe, bringing rhythm and energy to my life and those surrounding me.
