Nick Rossi
Software Engineer
I'm a software engineer based in the Austin, Texas area. I work across the stack with a focus on backend services, APIs, and platform engineering (TypeScript, Node, Go, and Flutter), and I like owning systems end to end, from API and data design through shipping and operating them. Outside of work I build open-source products for real users.

Projects
Sam Rossi Music
A custom site for jazz drummer Sam Rossi with a bespoke audio experience: a persistent mini-player that survives page navigation, waveform scrubbing with precomputed peaks, OS and lock-screen media controls, and a vinyl record you can drag to scratch through a track. Statically generated with structured data for SEO.
