I’m Nick Cosentino, the creator of Dev Leader. I’m a Principal Engineering Manager at Microsoft by day and a software engineering content creator by night! My journey in software engineering and leadership has been fueled by a passion for continuous improvement and a drive to empower teams with trust, transparency, and candor.
Here at Dev Leader, I share insights and experiences from my diverse background, spanning startups, small businesses, and big tech. I’ve been writing code for 20+ years and professionally creating software for 15 years now. I’d love to share my experiences with you!
