Top SchoolNick Marcuzzo is a software engineer with 11 years of experience who specializes in translating business needs into reliable, production-ready systems and currently focuses on AI development. He has led AI-powered internal tools and architected a RAG-based chatbot that handles hundreds of daily queries, automated manual processes, and improved employee workflows. Nick has a track record of modernizing core systems—reducing build times by 75%—and improving observability to detect outages earlier, all while maintaining rigorous TDD practices and high test coverage. He rethought technical hiring at scale by creating a paired-programming, TDD-style interview used in 50+ sessions to better identify collaborative problem solvers. Outside work he built AntGame.io, a full-stack simulation with procedural maps and deterministic anti-cheat mechanisms that reached 300+ daily users, showing his ability to tackle complex systems end-to-end. Based in Lenexa, Kansas, he bridges Product and Engineering and enjoys experimenting with new technologies and hiring practices that improve team outcomes.
