Background

About Nicholas Crouse

I've been with Stifel Financial for 5 years building solutions for financial advisors and the people that help empower their success. I've had the opportunity to learn about Salesforce, DevOps, AWS, and Python while deepening my prior C# experience. Prior to Stifel, I've also worked for Enterprise Mobility and MasterCard. With Enterprise, I spent 3 years developing MVC/WebForms applications using the.NET framework/Entity Framework with Microsoft Azure solutions. I also did SSIS package development. Previous non-development work included a year of working as a Business Analyst on the European expansion of a claims management suite, and a year as a Lead Software Analyst providing 24x7 support on telematics and software behind an automated rental product. At MasterCard, I was a systems analyst with MasterCard focused on location intelligence solutions. During this role some of the items I worked on included a redesign of our application's user provisioning, ad hoc analyses in support of contract negotiation with a location intelligence vendor, and the design and launch of new API services as a new data leasing opportunity. Prior to that on the same Location Services team at MasterCard I spent 3 years as a software engineer with professional development experience in ASP.NET/C# web applications and Java batch ETL processes. I have a strong passion for history and enjoy reading when time permits. Lately I've been reading AI Engineering by Chip Huyen out of professional interest in learning how to integrate an application into a foundational model. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
