Colleagues describe him as "I had the pleasure and honor to work with Nick for two years while at OpenTable. Nick is a creative, out-of-the-box thinker that energized and motivated everyone around him, first on the Global Traveller team and then on the Developer Experience team. His entrepreneurial mindset always allowed him to introduce critical changes by always having the big picture in mind. Some of the most significant contributions are the modularization and improvements on the OpenComponents framework (that led to more contributions, enhanced code quality and the development of many new features) and the work on OpenTable's design system (that led to greater collaboration between all the Engineers and Designers). I learned a lot from Nick as a colleague and friend. I hope our paths will cross again in the future.", "I couldn't be happier to have been on the same team as Nick Balestra for our thesis project at Hack Reactor. Co-creating SpeckJS with him was a blast due to his infectious positivity and overall drive to succeed. Nick was never afraid of getting his hands dirty when it came down to the nitty-gritty business of deciding when we had to refactor to fit our needs. He was versatile in the project working on parsing, creating plugins, overall logic and documentation. Nick was not only an asset to the team, but he personally inspired me to work towards becoming a better engineer every day of my life. It would be an honor to work with him again in the future and I would highly recommend Nick Balestra for any engineering project that will be lucky to have the pleasure of working with him.", and "I worked with Nick building a gaming application using Backbone.js. His JavaScript knowledge and skill are incredible and his attitude makes him a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend Nick for every development team."
