Sign-Speak
Spoke at Flower City AI in 2024.
Nicholas Wilkins was first introduced to Deaf culture while studying for his degree at RIT. He fell in love with not only the language, but also the thriving and vibrant community. After obtaining a BS in Computational mathematics and MS in Computer Science, he went to further his career as a Software Engineer at Google for two years. Unsatisfied with Big-Tech, he decided to start Sign-Speak with Niko and Yami. Nicholas’s technical expertise spans a wide range of domains including ML, back-end infra, and mathematical models. He is passionate about using deep-tech to improve the equity of modern-day solutions.
