# Nicholas D'Agosto V

> Software Engineer at Reality Interactive

Location: Shelton, Connecticut, United States
Profile: https://flows.cv/nicholasdagostov

I'm a versatile computer science professional with a strong foundation from the University of Connecticut, specializing in software development, cloud infrastructure, and data engineering. I have experience working with a range of programming languages, including Python, Next.js (React), Tailwind, C, Java, RISC-V assembly, Kotlin, and SQL, and I enjoy building scalable systems, developing robust backend solutions, and optimizing data pipelines.

My work with AWS has involved cloud-native architectures, including serverless computing, log aggregation, and analytics pipelines using OpenSearch, S3, Lambda, Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. I've also developed Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) solutions, leveraging LLMs for intelligent data retrieval and enhancing AI-driven workflows. In data engineering and data science, I've built and maintained high-performance ETL processes, developed insightful visualizations, and implemented machine learning models to drive better decision-making.

I'm always looking for ways to solve complex problems at scale and explore emerging technologies to build efficient, high-impact solutions.
