Nicolas was already a highly skilled engineer when I met him, clearly immersed in the latest agentic coding practices and enthusiastic about learning more. He exhibited a great passion for building useful software and taking an active interest in stakeholders' needs. I highly recommend him for software engineering roles, especially any for which clear communication is a necessity.

Nicolas has worked with me on an open source project, CytoCV, in collaboration with biologists at the University of Utah. He has excelled in many critical areas on this project including software engineering, web development, UX, computer vision, and the ability to work with biologists and translate their needs into software. Nicolas is proactive in identifying and solving issues and has demonstrated excellent skills in writing, documentation, and collaboration.

I highly recommend Nicolas for software engineering and development roles. I was his instructor for two undergraduate CSS courses and then he was a grader for two CSS courses. Nicolas is dedicated, detail-oriented, and has strong collaboration skills. I counted on him to provide meaningful feedback on student work, and he was proactive in raising issues and potential solutions. He will be a great asset to his future teams!

Since January 2026, I have had the pleasure of working with Nicolas on the CytoCV platform, improving both functionality and usability throughout the application. Not only was his work prior to my having joined the project in September 2025 a solid foundation, but in my time working with him directly, he has been a reliable, hard worker with strong technical and problem solving skills, as well as extremely professional. He is a strong communicator, including across disciplines, and highly organized, maintaining the documentation of CytoCV's GitHub repository expertly. He has produced consistently high-quality work, and has been invaluable to the project; any team would benefit from his work ethic, positive attitude, and skills.

I collaborated with Nick on several university engineering projects, where he proved to be a reliable and versatile developer. He managed our full-stack workflow seamlessly including structuring backend logic with Python, Django, and SQL, while keeping our frontends functional with JavaScript, HTML5, and CSS. He has solid engineering discipline, working comfortably across Linux environments, Git version control, and Azure cloud deployment.
