Nolan Hu
Founder of Sigma Synapses · builder of AI that ships
Like a ghost in the shell, I see beyond the data.
This is the source for dev.nolanhu.com, my corner of the internet.
I spent about a decade in financial services. I started as an infrastructure engineer at JPMorgan and moved into a data scientist role there, with data work along the way at BNY Mellon and HSBC. Now I run Sigma Synapses, where I build and run production apps mostly on my own. Most of my time goes into turning repetitive work into systems that run without me.
