Summary
Nick Culpin is a senior product-focused software engineer with 10 years of experience building creative tools, design systems, and interactive platforms from San Francisco. He blends hands-on full‑stack expertise—React/Next, Three.js/WebGL, Node/NestJS, and mobile with Swift and React Native—with product strategy and cross-functional leadership to turn design-heavy ideas into scalable products. As founder of Kaimo and Travelear he shipped SaaS and consumer apps that drove measurable engagement and operational efficiencies, and at Zazzle and Shiseido he automated creative pipelines and improved developer workflows. Nick thrives in the intersection of design and engineering, often bridging teams with tooling that accelerates asset delivery and designer productivity. He’s equally comfortable prototyping immersive WebGL experiences as he is defining technical product roadmaps, and has a background in MFA animation that informs his visual approach to engineering.
