Nick is ready for their next project!

Building a universal brain for robots. One architecture, any morphology, zero reinforcement learning, zero reward functions, zero pre-training. As you can see in the video, the only objective given was to survive. Don't fall for the humanoid, keep moving for the ant. Two completely different robots, the same single brain, not one line of code changed between them. The humanoid holds itself up, the ant navigates forward. That's the whole point.

Cover image for Built Wattless at Hack'Europe, Paris
Built Wattless at Hack'Europe, Paris Saclay, one of Europe's biggest student hackathons. Wattless tracks GPU spending and carbon emissions across cloud providers. We put Eve on top of it, an AI where you just describe the model you want in plain English and she writes the code, deploys it and monitors it. I handled the full frontend and backend with one teammate.

Built Friday, an autonomous Mac AI agent that operates your computer independently. Custom 82M-parameter vision model running at 46ms inference. It can navigate interfaces, execute tasks and make decisions without human input.

Built Paact with a team at Innov Hack Paris 2026, we won out of 40 teams. After the hackathon I picked it up solo and had a fully working app on TestFlight in 7 days. Paact lets people join communities, complete challenges, submit proofs and track their participation.
