Summary
Nick Jalbert is a full stack engineer with 14 years of experience and a decade focused on building web applications using Python (Django, Flask), JavaScript/TypeScript (React), PostgreSQL, and AWS. Currently at Perplexity AI, he combines hands-on engineering with a product-minded perspective honed as a founding team member and technical product manager at Captricity, where he turned a research prototype into an enterprise product.
