He's been dabbling in computer programming and hardware from an early age. During college, he veered away from a focus in Biology toward computer science and his love for building things. He and his wife enjoy cooking, where his wife does the Mis en plan and Nick executes the cooking - primarily, backing pizzas and corn bread. He calls this a great analog activity with a big payoff. Four years ago, Nick was working at Handy, which is an on demand services platform. There, he and his colleagues were tasked to build a map system, with real time , transparent location info about the service technician. He realized that this was a difficult problem to solve, and quickly found there was no third party solution out there - IE he couldn't find the Stripe or MixPanel for location infrastructure. So he and his co-founder set out to build Radar, to provide tools quickly develop location based features right in your technology.
