About Me

Hi, I'm Nick Quinlan. I live in Seattle, WA and am Chief Operating Officer at Major League Hacking. Previously, I was a SendGrid Developer Evangelist.

I've been using (or more like been glued to) computers since the age of three, just ask my parents. At age five, I may have had one of the most well planned and marketed lemonade stands a five year old has ever had.

Since then, I've been using my love of technology, business, and lemonade to lead communities, educational initiatives, and technical organizations.

Work & Volunteering

I'm passionate about the work I do, here's I'm up to and where I've been.

As a Developer Evangelist at SendGrid, on one of the best regarded developer relations teams in the industry, I promoted SendGrid's developer focused product by building our community, writing technical documentation, developing sample applications, and helping to maintain client libraries.

VITA is a program by the US Federal Government to provide free tax preparation to low-to-medium income tax payers, helping many claim underutilized tax credits like the Earned Income Tax Credit. As a tax preparer, I helped people navigate the confusing tax system and file their taxes.
