About Nick Niculita | 25+ Years Custom Software Development

My Story

From the Factory Floor to Custom Software

My career didn't start in a software company. It started on the factory floor.

With years in Electronics Manufacturing Services — engineering, program management, quality systems — I learned firsthand what software, manufacturers actually need. I saw the gap between what off-the-shelf software promised and what production teams actually required.

That experience shapes everything I build today. When I design a production tracking system or quality database, I'm not guessing what you need. I've lived it. I know the frustration of clunky systems, the cost of manual data entry, and the power of having the right information at the right time.

That's why I started Nick's Software — to build solutions that actually work for the people using them, not just the people buying them.

Why Manufacturing Experience Matters

When you work with me, you're not explaining manufacturing basics. I understand production workflows, quality requirements, traceability needs, and the pressure to ship on time. This background means faster projects, better solutions, and software that fits how you actually work.

My Approach

How I Work

Work smarter, not harder

I believe robust software systems provide the competitive edge businesses need. Every application I build is designed to save time, reduce errors, and help you make better decisions faster.

I don't believe in "good enough." If I'm going to build a database, I'm going to build a good one. That means understanding your business deeply, designing solutions that actually fit how you work, and staying with you long after deployment.

"If I am going to build a database, I am going to build a good one."

Local

Melbourne-Based, Face-to-Face

I'm based in Melbourne and work directly with my clients. No overseas outsourcing, no call centres — when you need help, you talk to me.

I believe in face-to-face relationships and long-term partnerships. Many of my clients have been with me for over a decade. That's not because they're locked into contracts — it's because the software works and they know I'll be there when they need me.

When something needs fixing at 4pm on a Friday, you're not navigating time zones or support tiers. You're talking to the person who built your system.
