👋 Hi, I'm Nick Sweeting (@pirate)

I'm a full-stack software engineer in Oakland, California. I founded ArchiveBox.io, and previously co-founded Monadical.com.

I've spent the last ~15yr working at startups, consulting, and coding around NYC, 上海, PDX, SF, Montreal, and Medellin.

❤️ I love working with Python, Typescript, devops, security, networking, distributed systems, brains, and 🛞 anything with wheels.
