Nicholas Howell, away from the keyboard

Family, travel, ice hockey, and the interests behind Nicholas Howell’s engineering work.

The rest of this portfolio is the work. This page is the person running it.

Where I actually am

Saint Petersburg, Florida. Most of my hours away from the keyboard go to my wife and family — including our two cats, who consider every warm laptop their rightful property.

Off the screen

I travel whenever the schedule lets me, and I play ice hockey. Two separate loves — one keeps me curious, the other keeps me on my skates.

And, predictably

I unwind with video games — and, like any true developer, with more software. My free-time builds are where I pressure-test new tools and AI workflows long before they ever touch client work. The hobby and the craft are the same thing; I just stopped pretending otherwise.
