Welcome to my corner of the web! I'm Nicholas Ayat, a passionate Computer Science student at UC Santa Cruz, with a focus on AI/machine learning. With junior standing and a plan to graduate a year early, I'm excited to tackle new challenges and explore innovative solutions.

Originally from the Bay Area, I have been immersed in the world of technology from a young age, fueling my enthusiasm for all things computer science. I’ve had the opportunity to work on some cool projects, like developing a predictive attendance tracking system during my time as a researcher at Sonoma State University. I also built NicklePal, an AI trading bot that uses LSTM algorithms to enhance market predictions, and created a Pathfinding Visualization Tool to help students grasp complex algorithms.

I'm well-versed in a variety of programming languages, including Python, Java, JavaScript, SQL, C++, HTML, CSS, and PHP. I’ve also worked with and familiarized myself with a number of frameworks including Django, React, Flask, and Angular.

Feel free to explore my projects and reach out if you'd like to collaborate or learn more about my work. Thanks for stopping by!
