Who is Doug Niccum?

Doug Niccum is a software engineer who builds developer tools through Doug Niccum Design, LLC, the company behind SecretStash.

He started SecretStash in October 2025 after onboarding onto a new team meant setting up a development environment without the API keys, database backups, and SSL certificates it needed, and getting them over Slack and Teams instead.

He writes the SecretStash comparison pages and integration guides, and maintains the open-source Laravel CLI package on GitHub.
