welcome!

Hey! My name is Nick Young, and this is my lawn, please get off of my lawn.

I work on query optimization at Databricks. Previously, I've worked on document databases at Stripe and developer experience at Bloomberg.

I'm interested in computers and mathematics broadly, but with a focus on databases, cryptography, and their intersection. I studied math and computer science at Brown University, where I helped build and run courses on databases and applied cryptography.

On the side, lift objects, sip neat, boil broth, hit shuttlecocks, send betas, and blunder queens. Please talk to me about any of those things (but no others).

If you're looking to connect, let's chat via email. If you're looking for my code, check out my Github. If you're looking for my bar menu, check out bar.n-young.me. If you're looking for a good time, click here.
