About Me
Hi! I’m Nicholai, and I build quality solutions with a clear impact. As a software engineer, I sculpt the search experience at Clay, the platform for creative go-to-market teams. Our Series C announcement explains the impact and future of GTM engineering, a new career path where AI amplifies human creativity.
Before NYC, I’ve been at:
- Matroid in Palo Alto, scaling computer vision infrastructure
- Meta in Seattle, optimizing datacenter rack placement
- WashU in St. Louis, BS/MS ‘24 in Computer Science and Mathematics. Minor in Linguistics
I love to pack my schedule with a variety of activities, especially:
- Dance
- Fusion, Brazilian Zouk, Country Line, Contact Improv, etc.
- Puzzles
- Puzzle hunts are great! I once spent close to a year building the 2023 MIT Mystery Hunt with team teammate. If you like maps, check out my puzzle City Placement.
- I also love logic puzzle contests (some favorites), solving crosswords, and more!
- Biking everywhere
- Singing
- Board games
- Hiking
- Exploring new places (near and far)
