Nick Aschenbach is a founder and product-engineering leader with 11 years of experience turning complex ideas into validated, scalable software—especially in data-heavy, regulated domains like healthcare, climate tech, and energy. He leads rapid discovery and prototype sprints that shorten feedback loops and produce reference implementations teams can scale, combining hands-on engineering with product strategy and measurable success metrics. Previously he led product and engineering at VECKTA and built a unified medical payments platform at Cambia, architecting backend microservices, data pipelines, and secure API integrations. Nick’s career began in systems and simulation work and spans roles from embedded/cloud engineering at HP to teaching and lab management, giving him a strong blend of formal modeling, fabrication, and practical DevOps experience. Based in San Diego, he excels at translating ambiguous stakeholder needs into clear specs and predictable delivery while keeping a maker’s curiosity—he once ran a CNC fabrication shop alongside software projects.
