// software engineer
I build things that live on the internet — and sometimes in the terminal.

};Hey — I'm Nick, a software engineer who loves building across the stack. Whether it's a slick web app, a tight CLI tool, or an ML pipeline, I care about writing code that's clean, fast, and built to last.
I thrive in the space where engineering rigor meets creative problem-solving. I'm passionate about open source, performance optimization, and tools that make other developers more productive.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me tinkering with side projects, reading about distributed systems, or contributing to the communities I care about.
