NickCarducci/README.md

๐Ÿ‘‹ Hi, Iโ€™m Nicholas Matthew Carducci

I'm a civic technologist, independent U.S. Senate candidate (NJ 2026), and graduate software engineering student at Monmouth University. Iโ€™m passionate about building public-interest technology and data commons for democratic participation, transparency, and justice.

๐Ÿง  What I'm Working On

๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ Thumbprint Social Calendar

Since 2012, I've been researching, designing, and developing Thumbprint Social Calendar โ€” a voting and streaming platform for:

  • Real-time and archival court cases, elections, and mock referenda
  • Featuring unbiased bill, ordinance, and budget proposal verbiage
  • Designed to promote civic engagement and institutional accountability through structured public feedback

This project is the backbone of my public service campaign and a proof-of-concept for a New Commons based on verified democratic input.

๐Ÿ›ก Guardian Angel App

Iโ€™m also working on the Guardian Angel Data Commons, an open-source safety and transparency app proposed to the NewCommons.ai Challenge. It enables secure, collaborative community oversight and real-time alerts for vulnerable environments using:

  • ReactJS + Node.js
  • Firebase & Azure (Entra ID, Firestore, SQL, Functions)
  • SwiftUI & Kotlin for mobile

๐ŸŽ“ Current Studies at Monmouth University (M.S. Software Engineering, โ€˜26)

Courses Completed:

  • โš™๏ธ Real-Time Embedded Systems
  • ๐Ÿค– Low Code / No Code AI & ML
  • ๐Ÿงฎ Data Structures & Algorithms
  • ๐ŸŒ Computer Networks

My academic work focuses on scalable civic platforms, secure edge computing, and intelligent interfaces for ethical tech.

๐Ÿ’ก Technical Stack

Languages & Frameworks

  • JavaScript / TypeScript, Node.js, ReactJS
  • SwiftUI, Kotlin (cross-platform mobile)
  • Python (data / backend scripting), C/C++ (embedded)
  • SQL, Firestore, GraphQL

Platforms & Tools

  • Firebase, Azure (SQL, Entra ID, Functions)
  • Digital Ocean Apps, GitHub Actions
  • Unity, Infinigen, and procedural generation tools for simulation

๐Ÿ—ณ Why I'm Running for Senate

I'm not just building softwareโ€”Iโ€™m building infrastructure for trust, verification, and collective decision-making. Politics needs technologists who care about the integrity of systems, not just the outcomes. My campaign platform draws from over a decade of independent civic R&D.

โ€œIf we canโ€™t verify consent, we canโ€™t claim representation.โ€

๐Ÿ“ซ Let's Connect


๐Ÿ›  Open to collaboration on public-interest software, New Commons projects, and real-time civic data platforms.
