About

Hi,
I'm Nick.

Junior at the McCombs School of Business studying Business Analytics with a minor in Computer Programming. Originally from Tbilisi, Georgia, proud to be the first Georgian undergraduate at UT Austin.

My journey spans investment banking at TBC Capital, audit and strategy consulting at EY, and capital finance at American Airlines. I'm currently building Burkit, an AI-native commercial insurance platform for Kazakhstan, and I'm passionate about using technology to solve complex financial problems and make data-driven insights accessible to everyone. I'm also very interested in the oil and gas, nuclear, and renewable energy sectors, where I see tremendous opportunity at the intersection of finance, data analytics, and energy infrastructure.

When I'm not analyzing data or building products, you'll find me producing electronic music, practicing martial arts, diving deep into history across all eras, or exploring the world of cryptocurrency. As an early investor in Dogecoin and a crypto enthusiast, I've been fascinated by blockchain technology and decentralized finance since the early days.
