01 / Profile

From the first line of code
to the systems people
depend on.

I’m Nicholas, a Computer Science graduate with a background in software development, information technology, mathematics, and informatics.

At the NYC Department of Education, I support the devices, networks, and classroom technology people use every day. I bring that same hands-on approach to building software, leading teams, and turning early ideas into working products.

Always exploring cybersecurity, AI, data, systems, and emerging technologies.
