Nicholas Chen

I currently study Systems Design Engineering at the University of Waterloo. I've previously worked on software at Melius, TextQL, Ownr, and RBC, and I enjoy product engineering.

In my free time, I enjoy writing blogs like Why Ontology for Text-to-SQL? and My Summer Internship with Melius and building cool things such as Metallic Blob, TikTok View Predictor, and SQL Query Parser.

Before I decided to go into engineering, I made lots of art, and in 2025, I listened to 172,706 minutes of music.
