Nick Khami's Blog

Hey, I'm Nick! I am software engineer and entrepreneur. Previously, I worked at NelNet Payment Services and a few startups including zeroDAO, Breezy, and Quai. Currently, I'm building the word's best search API as the founder and CEO of Trieve.

I received my B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin in 2022. My concentration was in machine learning and I did undergraduate research on GAN's. I have also been lucky enough to receive a bit of an entrepreneurial education through both Y-Combinator's and FUTO 's amazing programs.

My favorite hobbies are reading (TODO: backfill a goodreads profile) and riding motorcycles. Right to repair and open source are important to me. My goal is to try my hand at blogging over the next few months.
