I'm Nicolo, 23, from Newport Beach, California. I'm studying Industrial Engineering at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. During my time here at Cal Poly I've co-founded a startup (Bandit), Was president and risk manager for Kappa Sigma Fraternity (2nd Year), Co-President of the Cal Poly Club Baseball Team (5th Year), completed 3 internships, and still found time to build things that I truly enjoy doing.
I'm currently finishing up my 5th year at Cal Poly and planning to move to San Diego after I graduate in June 2026. The homelab journey will continue in my new location-> homelab page.
I like building things: automation for repetitive tasks, personal tools and iOS apps, infrastructure, knowledge bases, startups, always exploring new things and staying ahead of the curve. Industrial Engineering major by degree, problem solver by default.
AI Agents, Full-Stack Apps, Infrastructure & Data Analytics
Exploring the interface layer between humans and machines against a constantly-shifting AI tool landscape. Current focus: a project-manager assistant that lives inside existing PM software. Mostly under NDA, with more to share when I can.
A year and a half of Proxmox: one container turned into a 12+ service environment spanning pfSense networking, a ClickHouse + Grafana observability stack, and fleet-wide SSH automation. The place I learn infrastructure by running real systems for real people.
Co-founded a student transportation LLC in SLO. Built the app, ran operations, and closed after a year of learning.
Personal finance platform I built end-to-end. Live as a public SaaS at zedi.sneeks.ai, with a private instance running my real banking data on my homelab. Receipt OCR, CSV/QFX/PDF statement imports, auto-categorization.
Spotify analytics platform with ML-powered audio feature prediction, temporal listening patterns, and context-aware scoring. Built for an IME 565 course project.
Modern portfolio website built with Next.js and TypeScript. Features dynamic theming and responsive design.
Have an idea, a project, or just want to talk shop? I'm always down to connect.
