Nicholas Charriere

I’m a programmer that loves building things, working on hard problems and collaborating with interesting people.

I’m currently building an AI company named Axilla (part of YC summer 2023) with my co-founder and good friend Ben Reinhart.

I recently was a founding engineer at Privy, where I built an authentication SDK. Before that, I spent 4 years as a staff engineer on the ML platform team at Cruise, focused on automating the AI lifecycle.

I grew up in France, and moved to the Bay Area after getting my engineering Masters from Mines ParisTech. I spent time in a few different companies, notably building real-time systems at Pinterest before joining Cruise.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my wife Emily, going on adventures with my dog Zoey, cycling, reading, photography and cooking.
