Hi! I’m Nicholai, and I care about building quality solutions with a clear impact. I write software at Clay in New York, the platform for creative go-to-market teams (and with a $1.25B valuation, growing fast!).

Previously, I’ve been at:

• Matroid in Palo Alto, scaling computer vision infrastructure
• Meta in Seattle, optimizing datacenter rack placement
• WashU, 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)
