Nico Neiman

Senior Software Engineer

From interface to infrastructure. I automate the slow parts with AI, so teams ship faster.

About

I started as a front-end engineer in 2019. Today I work across the stack, from the interface to services and infrastructure.

I build AI workflows that run our audits and orchestrate work across domains, so we ship faster and securely.

Before software, I spent nine years as a photographer and designer. Off the clock, I'm in the rhythm section, on drums, bass or guitar.
