Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolNick Kao is a founder and software engineer with 7 years of experience building security-focused and product-first systems from startup to enterprise. He has hands-on experience in DDoS protection and threat intelligence from his time at Microsoft, and has translated that operational rigor into founding roles at Comfy Deploy and Swift Talk, the latter helping med spa owners convert every lead. As a founding engineer at Ad Auris and an early contributor across university and co-op roles, he blends full-stack delivery with practical product instincts. Based in Seattle and grounded in a Computer Science degree from UBC, he moves comfortably between production security, developer tooling, and customer-facing SaaS. Colleagues would note his pattern of turning operational challenges into product features that save time and revenue for users.
