About Me

Hi! I’m Nicholai, a software engineer based in NYC. I love crafting things with care and filling my calendar with a delightful medley of interests.

At work, I sculpt the search experience at Clay, the platform for creative go-to-market teams. If you’re curious about the space, our Series C announcement is a good overview of GTM engineering, a new career path where AI amplifies human creativity.

Before that, I’ve been at:

• Matroid in Palo Alto, scaling computer vision infrastructure
• Meta in Seattle, optimizing datacenter rack placement
• WashU in St. Louis, with a BS/MS ‘24 in Computer Science and Mathematics and a minor in Linguistics

My many interests include:

• Dance
  • Fusion, Brazilian Zouk, Country Line (check out my event list), Contact Improv, etc.
• Puzzles
  • Puzzle hunts are great! I once spent close to a year building the 2023 MIT Mystery Hunt. If you like maps, check out my puzzle City Placement.
  • I also love logic puzzle contests (some, favorites), solving crosswords, and more!
• Biking
• Singing
• Board games
• Nerding about public transit
• Hiking
• Exploring new places (near and far)
• …and always looking for something new!
