I'm Nick โ a Maintainer of AutoGPT, serial hackathon winner, and a Texan who once sent a weather balloon 30,000 feet into the stratosphere just to mint an NFT on the blockchain. It froze. It thawed. It minted. No regrets.
What I'm building:
- ๐ค AI agents that are slowly working themselves (and me) out of a job โ at AutoGPT
- ๐ผ๏ธ EaselWall โ a macOS app that puts a museum masterpiece on your desktop every morning, because "the desktop is the most-looked-at painting in the world. It may as well be a good one."
- โ๏ธ Arctic Blower โ a snow-clearing empire simulator built by AI in one conversation. One file. One idea. Infinite snow.
A few things about me:
- ๐ Launched a weather balloon to the stratosphere to mint the world's first NFT from space (60L of helium ยท 10 bps satellite comms ยท 1 frozen camera ยท 0 regrets)
- ๐ง Built a brainwave-controlled robot for ALS & quadriplegia patients โ won Best IoT Hack at SXSW

- ๐ญ Competed in Destination Imagination Improv to a global top-10 finish as a kid; now I judge it
- ๐ 9+ hackathon wins. Solar-powered parking systems, esports Discord bots, bag-tracking RFID networks โ you know, the classics
- ๐ฎ Star Citizen player, Minecraft builder
- ๐ 3D prints Gridfinity bins and built a space optimizer for them
- ๐ค Restarted UNT's robotics club from 0 โ 80+ members, then immediately built more robots
