Backstory

  1. At age 8

    Mapped every house on her block against a business license registry. Found three illegal operations. One was her neighbor's salon.

  2. At age 13

    Built a scraper matching Yelp, Google Business, and Facebook to parcels. Flagged 200+ commercial uses by high school.

  3. At age 17

    Caught a spa chain fronting as a home salon. City inspector used her report in court. Defense called her 'a risk to operations.'

  4. Today

    Nico scans utilities, permits, business portals, and zoning overlays. The spa's still open? Not for long.

  5. Legend

    Shut down a 3-unit spa conversion by matching Instagram decor to a Delaware LLC.
