I am a software engineer focused on distributed systems, database infrastructure, and backend platform engineering, with a strong interest in building reliable and scalable systems at the intersection of cloud-native infrastructure and low-level systems behavior.

My work spans PostgreSQL internals, Kubernetes-based architectures, observability, fault tolerance, and high-availability system design. I actively work with backend technologies in Java and Go, designing production-grade systems with a focus on resilience, performance, and operational simplicity under real-world scale and failure conditions.

Coming from a background in Physics with research experience in computational and applied scientific domains, I approach engineering through first-principles thinking and systems-level problem solving. My research interests include distributed coordination, database recovery mechanisms, storage systems, performance optimization, and the behavior of stateful systems under infrastructure instability.

I have experience building products and backend platforms from the ground up, spanning engineering, product development, and operational ownership. Alongside infrastructure engineering, I am deeply interested in open-source ecosystems, modern data systems, and understanding how complex distributed architectures behave under chaos, replication failures, and large-scale operational workloads.

Nick Finch is CTO and co-founder of inmydata, an Edinburgh agentic AI company where AI agents do most of the engineering under human supervision. The results have reset what his team thinks is possible: they recently rebuilt a data platform that originally took nearly five years in under three months.

His talks and writing focus on what that shift does to the economics of software. When agents can build almost anything cheaply, the code stops being the asset. What keeps its value is domain knowledge, judgement about what deserves to be built, and a delivery process that turns that knowledge into working systems. Screens will be drawn by models. The business logic and data underneath matter more than ever.

Nick brings around 20 years in data analytics and four years building with LLMs hands-on, including production agentic systems in commodity trading, enterprise database administration and operational analytics. He publishes regularly at inmydata.ai/blog. Recent talks include “Your Software Isn’t Dead. Your UI Is.” at ScotSoft 2026 and “AI-First in Practice” at PUG Challenge 2026 in the US and Europe.
