About / Nick Taylor
Good work.
Personal commitment.
I’m Nick. Software engineer, founder of Pitstop Technologies, and the person you’ll work with from the first conversation to the finished product.
I bring design and engineering together to build websites, digital products and software that make life easier for the people using them.

01 / What you can expect
Someone who sees
the whole picture.
A good website is only one part of a working business.
There’s the customer finding what they need. The team handling the enquiry. The systems keeping everything connected. I think about those relationships from the start.
You speak directly with the person doing the work. We can discuss an idea, question an assumption and make a decision without passing the brief from one department to another.
02 / Working together
Clear thinking.
Care in the details.
Make it tangible.
Review real screens and working flows as the project takes shape. You can see the choices and give useful feedback.
Finish the whole job.
Check the experience on real devices, connect the systems and hand over the work clearly. Plan what happens after launch.
03 / The person, too
Life beyond
the browser.
I’m also a dad. There’s family life, travel, and the occasional oversized chess piece.
I’ve spent time in the UK, Dubai and Romania, and taken family trips to Germany. There’s more to my life than a list of projects. I’d like you to know the person you’re choosing to work with, too.
That’s the spirit behind Pitstop: personal involvement, curiosity and care for the finished result.
A personal side. Still the same Nick.04 / A broad toolkit
Experience beyond
a list of logos.
The right technology depends on what we’re building, what already exists and who will maintain it.
These are selected tools from my work, not the full extent of my experience. The important part is knowing how to choose, connect and support them.

05 / The background, briefly
Built on experience.
Focused on what’s next.
I started in UK e-commerce in 2011. Since then, my work has taken me through enterprise automation, healthcare platforms, property data and digital services in the UK and UAE.
Today I build from Romania through Pitstop Technologies. That experience helps me bring a wider perspective to the decisions we make for your project.
