Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Kaye is a staff technical lead and product-minded engineer with 11 years of experience building interactive media, digital products, and adaptive systems from R&D to large-scale delivery. He founded XJ music, a patented open-source adaptive music engine, and has repeatedly blended creative disciplines—typography, animation, composition—with C++ and full-stack engineering. At Endeavor and now TKO he has led cross-functional teams delivering mobile and hybrid event experiences for major properties including the Paris 2024 Olympics and the FIFA WC ’26 Premium Hospitality line that helped sustain a business generating over $1B in under two years. Comfortable in both startup and enterprise contexts, he has built distributed streaming microservices, customer identity solutions, and product-first platforms for VC, media, and live-events clients. Based in San Francisco, he’s an ongoing student of human-machine interaction who pairs hands-on technical craft with strategic leadership. A detail that often surprises collaborators: he bridges artistic practice and systems engineering, shipping both production-grade code and creative interactive experiences.
