Career Mentor:
Nicholas Mihailou

 

Nicholas currently works as the CEO and Co-founder at AppSydney, an app development agency that has developed software for companies such as UNSW and Crimson Education. Nicholas started his journey in tech after starting a coding club at his primary school when he was 12. After various failed app projects, he released a game on the App Store, "Puzzle Dash" which was downloaded in over 50 countries and was played over 200k times. Due to this sudden success, Nicholas and his business partner were invited to several Apple meetings and events, commonly recognised as two of the youngest App Store developers in history. As of now, Nicholas currently runs AppSydney and uses his passion for technology to build apps for companies across the world. Outside of school and the business, Nick is an avid fan of Rugby League and the Sydney Roosters, as well as a fan of rock music and playing the guitar.
