Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeter Nicolai is a seasoned Python backend consultant with 12 years of experience building game backends, web services, and analytics pipelines, currently based in New York. He has a strong track record modernizing and scaling server infrastructure—most recently implementing JSON APIs and restructuring agentic AI content generation services with Starlette/FastHTML. Previously he led backend development for award-winning mobile titles at Gameloft, migrating systems from Python 2 to 3 and operating on GCP with App Engine, Datastore, Compute Engine and Redis. His roots in game development span C++, Java, Flash and tooling work dating back to early hits like Diner Dash, giving him a practical, product-first engineering perspective. Comfortable across front-end admin tools and background data services, he brings a blend of pragmatic architecture, hands-on coding, and a persistent curiosity—he once prototyped an AR app for toddlers on a Casio PDA well before smartphones.
