Nicholas Van De Pas
Former subsea engineer. Now building with AI.
I spent 7 years designing subsea infrastructure across Melbourne, Houston, and Norway. I resigned to build location-independent products at the intersection of engineering rigour and AI-assisted development. This site documents what I build and how I think about technology.
