Hello, I am Nick Hershberger, a Software Architect working at Finvi (formerly Ontario Systems), based in the US. I have roughly 20 years of experience with Intersystems products, starting in the summer of 1999 when I interned with Ontario Systems. Upon graduation from college in 2000 I started full time work with Ontario Systems using the screen editor to write Cache ObjectScript. In 2009, I left Ontario Systems and went to work for a client of theirs, building application features for the Ontario product built on top of Cache.

In 2014, my family and I began a five-year adventure with Wycliffe Bible Translators, three of which we spent living in the Eastern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. I wasn’t using any Intersystems technology during that time but managed the translation center help desk and eventually the Communications and Technical Services department. We returned to the US in 2019 and I returned to working full time with Ontario Systems, soon to be rebranded as Finvi, where I remain today.

In 2023, my wife Ashlie, and our four kids, Hannah, Gabe, Leah, and Sam, relocated to the Highlands of Scotland about 20 minutes north of Inverness. Living and working remotely in the Highlands and continuing to work with Intersystems technologies has been a great experience and privilege.
