Hi, I’m Nico—a husband, dad, runner, and computer systems person trying to balance it all while optimizing for uptime and user experience. By day, I work with infrastructure and platform teams across clouds and data centers. By fun time, I’m either training for ultramarathons or stepping into the fantasy worlds of my daughter's imagination—both of which require endurance, strategy, and a willingness to get lost.
This blog is where I share stories and thoughts on running, tech, and life—whether it’s training for ultras, navigating leadership in engineering, or learning from my most important role: being a dad. Expect race reports from the middle of the pack, training insights, tech lessons, and real-life moments that prove parenting is the ultimate endurance sport.
So whether you're here for trails, tech, or toddler logic, welcome to the adventure!
