Hi, I'm Nico

Full-stack engineer at Inventive AI, where we're building AI agents to automate sales tasks and RFP responses. I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, and Django developing knowledge systems and collaboration tools.

I began in mechanical engineering before transitioning to software development. My focus has been on AI platforms, web applications, and optimization tools. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I enjoy solving complex technical challenges.

Outside of work, I hike Bay Area trails, play tennis and rugby, and read books on tech and science, or sci-fi novels.

Goals for 2025

Annual focus that shapes my projects and decisions

Deep Expertise

This year I'm diving deeper into my core technologies rather than spreading wide. Focusing on mastering React performance optimization, TypeScript architecture patterns, and advanced state management techniques to build more robust, maintainable applications.
