Hi! I'm Nicholas, a Computer Science student at the University of Oregon with a passion for software engineering, machine learning, and distributed systems. I've worked at Microsoft on cloud-native reliability and founded Runic Solutions to build offline AI solutions. Explore my journey below!
University of Oregon | Minors: Mathematics and Earth Sciences
2023-2026 | GPA: 4.10
Starting August 2026
I'll be starting as a Software Developer at Epic in Madison, WI after graduation from the University of Oregon. I'm excited to contribute to healthcare software solutions and grow my skills in a dynamic environment.
Interactive Simulation
Building an interactive physics simulation using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas. This project explores particle dynamics, collision detection, and real-time rendering.
