Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Schank is a seasoned infrastructure leader with 12 years of experience building large-scale, privacy-conscious backend systems and now leads GPU infrastructure at Reflection AI, connecting researchers to reliable training and inference resources. He previously spent nearly a decade at Google owning User History storage and deletion pipelines, where he was a C++ readability mentor and technical lead for teams of 15+ focused on data privacy and maintenance. Skilled in Python and pragmatic about languages, he’s a hands-on monorepo and style-guide owner who prioritizes maintainability and efficiency in production systems. Based in Cambridge, MA, he prefers deep backend and low-level work—cryptography, data processing, and systems reliability—over frontend development. A detail that sets him apart: he balances platform leadership with active code stewardship, from mentoring style to implementing core infra that keeps sensitive user data safe.
