Nicholas Adam is a Site Reliability Engineer with nine years of software experience, currently building resilient systems at C3 AI after progressing from Associate Solution Engineer. He combines full-stack fluency—Elixir, Python, Node.js, React—with cloud and infra tooling (AWS, Azure, Terraform/Bicep, NGINX) to ship highly performant APIs and scalable deployments. His hands-on projects include optimizing PostgreSQL-heavy services to boost API throughput from hundreds to thousands of RPS and designing authenticated trip-sharing features in React-backed applications. A University of Virginia economist turned Hack Reactor-trained engineer, he blends analytical rigor with pragmatic engineering and a taste for performance tuning that often yields order-of-magnitude gains. Based in Washington, D.C., he pairs production-focused SRE practices with curiosity for ML tooling and spatial data (PostGIS), bringing both backend depth and user-facing sensibility to system reliability.
