Hi, there. I'm Nick Bradford. I'm currently in NYC and SF, working on Cursor cloud agents at SpaceX.
I've been working on AI coding agents since pre-ChatGPT, previously as co-founder/CTO of Ellipsis (YC W24), and founding AI engineer at Grit. I was also ML resident at Redwood Research, engineering manager at Hyperscience, and investment engineer at Bridgewater.
I believe in taking only what rest is needed to maximize productivity (see the Utopian Oath).
Outside of work, I have been writing a satirical epic fantasy novel Spellcraft as a Service since 2012, and am currently on my third (final?) rewrite. You might also enjoy my short story "Flexitarian 2048", tech blog, house playlist, music, and resources on tech careers and NYC.
