Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNick Siscoe is a full-stack, cross-platform software engineer and founder with eight years of experience building product-led systems, currently serving as Co-Founder and CTO of Dropback (YC W24), which provides pro-grade front office tech to elite college sports teams. He combines hands-on engineering—shipping high-performance search and streaming optimizations at PayIt and Hudl—with product design instincts honed from founding Heyday and building customer-facing apps. Comfortable across backend, frontend, and data-driven tooling, Nick has a track record of turning complex requirements into fast, reliable features used at scale (e.g., millisecond transaction search and 1080p video streaming). Based in Kansas City, he blends startup grit with formal CS training from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln and the YC network, and often focuses on forward-looking product projections rather than rear-facing metrics.
