Summary
Eleanor Nicolson is a software engineer with nine years of experience building reliable, user-facing and embedded infrastructure for conversational AI and automotive platforms. She has shipped features and tooling at Applied Intuition, Google Assistant on Android Automotive, and Amazon Alexa—working across data pipelines, search/ranking, and infra & quality to keep voice assistants functioning in real-world, low-connectivity scenarios. Comfortable in both backend data systems (Python, Scala, AWS) and embedded/automotive contexts, she has led team process design, mentored interns, and owned cross-team integrations that improved recall and developer productivity. A liberal arts-trained technologist with dual majors in Computer Science and Classics, she brings curiosity and communication skills uncommon in engineers, and spends off-hours traveling (20+ countries) and reading, a habit that informs her thoughtful approach to problem solving.
