Hi, I'm @nietaki!

I started my career as a software engineer at Microsoft and have been writing code for various startups for over a decade.

I always enjoyed using the best tools for any given job, and ergonomic keyboards in particular. I used to own numerous Microsoft Sculpt ergonomic keyboards, just to make sure I had a spare one when one broke.

The love for ergonomic keyboards evolved, I made myself a custom Redox keyboard and kept working on electronics projects I thought were missing in the world. I saw room for improvement, but I kept using it for years.

I started working on more electronics and hardware projects, the most ambitious one being the Ampersand table, that used a custom-designed mechanism and electronics to draw patterns in sand underneath the surface of a coffee table.

NTK studio is my way of sharing the tools I made for myself with the world. From computer keyboards, through dawless music making tools, to electronics prototyping tools - it’s all stuff I made for myself, designing for longevity and user experience better than anything else on the market.
