Background

About Nicholas Orlowsky

I am a dedicated Computer Science student at The University of Texas at Austin, specializing in infrastructure, distributed systems, and systems programming. Throughout my academic journey, I have delved into various computer science topics, constantly seeking opportunities to expand my knowledge and refine my skills. In addition to my academic pursuits, I have had the privilege of gaining practical experience through projects and internships. Notably, as a Software Engineer Intern at FUTO, I optimized Gitlab CI pipelines, boosting performance by 75% and integrated Elasticsearch into a Rust API, leading to a 20% increase in search order value. At Casino Comp Wallet, I orchestrated a seamless database migration of over users to AWS RDS and developed an advertising system serving impressions. I also implemented a live-streaming video feature for brand influencers, delivering high-quality content with low latency. I'm an enthusiast for open-source projects, contributing to various projects like the.NET runtime and the Kubernetes NGINX ingress controller, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and growth. I am always eager to take on challenges and remain committed to expanding my skill set as technology evolves.
