Hi, I'm Nicholas

engineer and cofounder at datafruit
I am a 21 y/o aspiring computer scientist (aspiring because my career path has so far turned me into a software engineer).
I did my undergrad at where I spent a lot of time taking niche cs theory classes and a little bit of machine learning. Based on my elite ball knowledge I was the head TA for algorithms for a few semesters. Meanwhile, I started grad school, but right after I finished my first semester I dropped out to work on a startup!
That startup is datafruit, which is redefining data engineering to be declarative, idomatic, and accessible to ai agents. We are backed by λf.(λx.f (x x)) (λx.f (x x)) and currently in the S25 batch.
