# Nicholas Bulka

> Senior Software Engineer; Mathematician

Location: Savannah, Georgia, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholasbulka

I am an innovative full-stack AI and business applications architect and developer. I use Claude Code , Gemini, and OpenAI's Codex to write everything from functional production Typescript to functional analysis math proofs in Lean. Provable code, software logic and maths fascinate and motivate me. The intersection of this quest for pinpoint accuracy with Artificial Intelligence is what really excites me today. I also build agentic AI tools for my non-technical friends, embedding them in Discord bots and browser UIs.

React/Typescript Expert front-end Developer.
Senior Back-end Developer level in many languages, including but not limited to python, C++17 and Java.

Prompt engineering has recently become a specialty of mine, as it combines deep technical expertise with a rigorous analytical mindset. As a distinguished Scholar with degrees in Economics and Philosophy and a rich mathematical background, I bring a statistical perspective to token generation and natural language processing. 

I have been consistently recognized for transforming development workflows through strategic LLM integration and establishing cutting edge practices for AI-assisted coding.

Expert at structuring prompts for optimal LLM interaction. I design statistical methods to organize information flows between humans and AI, specializing in code generation and documentation. Through systematic analysis, I create reusable templates that enhance AI output quality and consistency while training teams to leverage these tools effectively.
Key skills:

Empirical prompt architecture design
Statistical prompt optimization
LLM interaction patterns
AI-assisted code generation
Vlbe proofs in Lean
Team AI adoption & training
