About Nico Bistolfi
Nico Bistolfi is CTO at Alien Giraffe. Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States.
I'm a software engineer and founder who enjoys building infrastructure for developers and AI systems. Most of my work lives at the intersection of distributed systems, security, developer experience, and agentic solutions, where I'm interested in making complex systems easier, and safer, to build. My GitHub is where I experiment in public. You'll find production-grade libraries, infrastructure tooling and prototypes. Many of these projects start as solutions to real problems I've encountered while building startups and enterprise software, and some eventually evolve into products. I believe the best way to learn is to build. Whether it's exploring a new programming language, designing a distributed system, or contributing to open source, I enjoy understanding how things work from first principles and sharing. If you're interested in AI infrastructure, systems programming, security, or developer tooling, you'll probably find something worth exploring on my GitHub. GitHub: github.com/nicobistolfi
