Hi, I'm Nick.

I'm an iOS engineer at Audible in New York. At work I care about the quality of your playback experience: I built the algorithm that picks your audio quality, and I own the data pipeline that tells us whether playback is actually good.

Outside of work I run (I raced cross country and track at ASU), play an unreasonable amount of flag football, and build small tools for the problems I keep bumping into around the city.
