🌐 Canonical profile & source of truth → nicolasdao.com Everything here is a summary; the full, verifiable record lives on my site.
I'm working to demystify agentic AI and show how much good it can do — for engineers, for businesses, and for the people they serve.
My conviction, tested daily: agentic programming keeps a promise the industry has chased for years — that one person, directing AI agents well, can build and operate what used to take a whole team. I don't just claim it; I demonstrate it. HappySkills is the proof: a complete, scalable, dependable platform — engineering, design, QA, infrastructure, DevOps, security, payments, analytics — built and run by one person.
| Cloudless Labs | AWS & AI consulting | Cloud migrations, serverless architecture, ML pipelines, custom AI agents and agentic workflow design — delivered end-to-end. 15+ years of cloud experience. |
| HappySkills | Product | The package manager for AI agent skills — search, install, version, fork and publish skills conversationally, integrated with Claude Code. Built and operated solo. |
| BobNinja | Playground | Free, privacy-first tools that run 100% in your browser (WebAssembly — nothing leaves your device). No backend at all, built through agentic programming. |
