Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicky Buttigieg is a PhD student in computational neuroscience at King's College London and The Francis Crick Institute, blending a decade of software engineering experience with neurobiology research. He has built production-grade, event-driven microservices and infrastructure (Python, FastAPI, Kafka, Terraform, ClickHouse) as the first full-time engineer at a fintech/iGaming startup, and previously applied signal processing and simulation skills to peripheral nerve research. Comfortable spanning lab and engineering contexts, he has designed NEURON-based simulation libraries, used wavelet-based biomarker detection, and managed low-cost IT automation for research and product teams. His background in AI-focused advanced computer science and hands-on community leadership reflects an ability to translate complex computational models into deployable systems and to convene collaborators across disciplines. An interesting facet: he pairs deep technical delivery with practical community-building, having run global Discord communities while contributing to neurotechnology meetups.
