Education

Pick graduated from the University of Colorado Boulder with a BS in Mechanical Engineering in 2007. ^[3]​

Career

Pick began his career in technical and mechanical roles, first working as a machinist at Steen Machining in 2003 and later as an assistant machinist at the Joint Institute for Laboratory Astrophysics from 2005 to 2006. During that period, he also held a student scientist position at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and an engineering internship at the National Wind Technology Center. In 2007, he joined Lighthouse Solar as a mechanical engineer before transitioning to lead software engineer in 2010. He then moved to Mission Motors in 2011, where he held software engineering and consulting roles for three years, contributing to the development of software for electric vehicle systems.

In 2015, Pick joined Apple’s Special Projects Group as a senior software engineer, focusing on experimental technologies. Two years later, he co-founded Recall Labs, a company that built decentralized infrastructure and data tools for Web3 applications, where he serves as Chief Technology Officer. In 2025, he became a staff software engineer at a stealth robotics company, working on advanced robotics systems. ^[4]​

Technical Contributions

Pick is an active contributor to multiple open-source initiatives in the decentralized technology ecosystem. At Recall Labs, he works on the core infrastructure for the Recall network, including projects such as IPC (Inter-Planetary Consensus), which enables scalable, multi-level EVM-compatible networks, and rust-recall, a set of Rust-based tools for network interaction. He is also involved with Textile, contributing to projects that enhance IPFS and Filecoin functionality, such as go-threads, Powergate, and Bidbot. In addition, Pick contributes to the Tableland Network through work on go-tableland, a validator node implementation that processes blockchain events and query requests. His technical expertise spans programming in Go and Rust, with a focus on technologies including Filecoin, IPFS, IPLD, libp2p, EVM, FVM, and peer-to-peer database systems. ^[1]​
