Biography
Seals-Nutt was born in 1995 in St. Louis, Missouri. As a child, he first started his entrepreneurial experience by opening his first catering business at the age of 8 years old in the form of a local pastry company known as "Kenny's Goodies." At age 9, he moved to Charlotte, North Carolina where he attended Northside Christian Academy for elementary school and high school at Hickory Grove Christian School.[1] In North Carolina, Seals-Nutt refined his passion for the culinary arts by taking after-school and weekend classes from Johnson & Wales instructors, starting apprenticeships with established chefs on the East Coast, using social media to setup advisory meetings with Food Network chefs and personalities, and spending his Saturday mornings practicing his recipes while volunteering at soup kitchens in the Charlotte-Metro Area. This ultimately gave Seals-Nutt a path to opening his second catering company as executive chef of Modern Fusion Catering by age 12 where he and his team serviced many events, parties, and weddings in the region. Early on, his culinary work was featured in The Charlotte Observer[2], WCNC-TV's Charlotte Today Show, and in Ramin Ganeshram's 2014 cookbook "FutureChefs: Recipes from Tomorrow's Cooks Across America and the World"[1] all before finishing high school. In fact, he received early confirmation of attending The Culinary Institute of America during his junior year of high school.
During his senior year of high school, his teachers saw Seals-Nutt's potential for success in the classroom and urged him to apply to Ivy League universities in addition to the culinary schools he had selected. Seals-Nutt then went on to becoming the first student to attend an Ivy League school out of high school by attending Yale University in the fall of 2014.[3] At Yale, he realized he has a passion for cooking, but also for business and technology as well. He began learning how to code during his sophomore year with the help of his engineering roommates along the way. By the end of his third semester, he had decided to change career paths and shifted his major to Computer Science. Seals-Nutt took every possible class that could fit in his schedule to complete the major in 2.5 years without ever writing a line of code prior to college. In addition to his departmental studies, he attended entrepreneurship and MBA classes at Yale School of Management and strived to take on real-world projects by joining the Yale University Library's digital preservation department to develop software for the institution.[4] By the time he graduated in 2018, Seals-Nutt received a ceremonial award by his department known as the Department of Computer Science Prize in recognition of his scholarship and research during his time there.[5]
In 2018, Seals-Nutt moved to Oakland, California where he founded a research-focused technical consulting company Seals-Nutt LLC that builds software and web-based applications for other research institutions. His work focuses on tools that aid in enriching the semantic web and making data more accessible to the public domain.[6]
Seals-Nutt currently works at Pandora Radio as a Software Engineer.
