Top SchoolNick Winans is a Senior Software Engineer and entrepreneur with a decade of experience building product-focused software and hardware from San Francisco. At Roblox he drove the universal app component library and helped release a source-available Luau ecosystem, and is now joining the accessibility team to help more people express themselves on the platform. He founded Nice Keyboards and Typeractive.xyz, a niche wireless DIY keyboard brand that focuses on a premium end-to-end experience from ordering to assembly.

That blend of design-system shipping, embedded firmware tinkering, and product craftsmanship means he optimizes both user-facing polish and low-level reliability.
