Nicolas de Garrigues
Software Engineer @ Escape (YC W23)
Building cybersecurity solutions with AI. Crafting high-performance SaaS platforms. This is where the fun begins.
About Me
I'm a passionate Software Engineer at Escape (YC W23), where I build cutting-edge cybersecurity solutions powered by AI. I work across the full stack, from high-performance frontend interfaces to robust backend systems and R&D algorithms.
Previously, I served as a Faculty Advisor and Professor at IIM Digital School, where I developed and delivered technical courses, supervised student projects, and shaped the curriculum for the Coding & Digital Innovation track.
When I'm not coding, you'll find me exploring pop culture, diving into a good book, or experimenting in the kitchen. Life's too short not to enjoy the journey!
