CHAPTER 01 / SYSTEMS

CURRENT PRACTICE / SELECTED ENGINEERING

Tools, tests,
& failure cases.

I work on secure AI integrations, evaluation, and data systems at Environics Analytics. The projects below are independent work with public source code.

CHAPTER 02 / RESEARCH

MSc COMPUTER SCIENCE / ONTARIO TECH

Patterns
inside change.

My thesis studies approximate functional relationships across changing, noisy time series—using segmentation and symbolic regression to find structure that a single model may miss.

CHAPTER 03 / MUSIC

OUTSIDE OF WORK / PIANO

From a recording
to a score.

I play piano. I also built an experimental system for transcribing solo-piano recordings into MIDI and music notation. Timing and expression are as interesting as the notes.

NICHOLAS BODE / TORONTO, CANADA

A few things
about me.

I work on AI application security, agent-tool integrations, evaluation, and data systems. My independent research studied trend dependencies in noisy time series.
