Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicholas Battjes is a pragmatic full-stack engineer and current Lead Developer in San Francisco with eight years of experience building and shipping customer-facing e-commerce platforms. He co-founded and served as CTO of Valquery, where he architected an AI-powered generation-augmented retrieval app and produced a market-ready prototype in just five months. At New Elevation he moved from individual contributor to technical lead, improving performance, accessibility, and release flow while leading teams to deliver complex headless commerce integrations. Comfortable across front-end, back-end, and release management, he combines product-driven engineering with hands-on implementation to reduce errors and accelerate time-to-market. Outside of engineering he brings strong presentation and team-facing skills honed hosting escape games and pub trivia — useful for investor pitches and cross-functional collaboration. He’s also oddly good at crossword puzzles, hinting at a knack for pattern recognition and concise problem framing.
