Hey! I'm Nicolai Skogstad

I'm currently studying a Masters of SWE @ University of Melbourne. I've written software that is trusted by MUR Motorsports, EMU5 Robotics, Unimelb Rover Team, and the Melbourne Space Program. Seeing code I wrote actually help people at scale is what keeps me building. Currently building Noval, a startup based on making AI easy, reliable, and convenient for local businesses.
