Nick has a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of California, Irvine. Nick worked as a Mechanical Designer in MEP for a little over a year before deciding to pursue his interest in data analysis and full stack development at a startup called StyleWhere. After 8 months of working with StyleWhere, the company was acquired by Smartrac Technology, a global leader in RFID technology. Nick's code and many of his algorithms contributed are used daily by Levi's and other big name retail corporations as the backbone of their RFID solution. The app he helped create along with his incredible mentor, Miguel Alatorre, is displayed in showrooms geographically ranging from Hong Kong, the Empire State building in NYC, all the way to London. Nick also displayed a poster at the INFORMS Business Analytics Conference in 2016 to present work done in the big data scope of his work at StyleWhere. Nick continued work as a full stack developer and data analyst at Smartrac before co-founding Cloudstorm, LLC.
