Hi, I’m Nicholas 👋

The person behind Big Friendly Function.

I build websites and custom tools that make complicated tasks easier. I’m a frontend developer working in cybersecurity, with projects spanning interactive graphics, data analysis, and music software.

I also make room for playful experiments and delightfully unnecessary apps.

Work with me

Available for scoped freelance projects:

  • Website launches and refreshes: responsive sites with a distinctive identity and useful integrations.
  • App improvements: interface polish, bug fixes, and new features in existing products.
  • Custom workflow tools: turn repetitive processing and spreadsheet tasks into software people can use.

Have something awkward, unfinished, or repetitive? Tell me about it.

Selected projects

Project What it does
OG Blacman An artist website with dedicated desktop and mobile experiences. Visit the site ↗

A little more about me

Based in Baltimore. Into techno, creative coding, and making useful things for people.

6′6″, left-handed, and always interested in collaborating on the silliest of silly apps. 🪿
