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.

Featured Projects

View all

Outcome-driven agent framework from Aden for building adaptive multi-agent systems with human-in-the-loop controls.

Hive

Hive is an open-source framework from Aden for teams that need AI agents to run real business processes, not just toy demos. The product centers on describing an outcome in natural language, then letting a queen agent generate and coordinate a swarm of worker agents around that goal.

AIYC StartupAgentic AIOpen Source

Full-stack Airtable clone with Google authentication, saved grid views, and virtualized large-table performance.

Airtable Clone

Built as a product-style Airtable clone focused on making the tables page feel complete rather than shipping a shallow UI copy. The main challenge was getting spreadsheet-like interactions, per-user data isolation, and large-table performance to work together cleanly.
