about me
Welcome! I'm Nathaniel, a passionate full-stack engineer with a background in ecommerce. I thrive on the ability to help bring joy to people's lives through the creation of remarkable experiences. Previously, I had the privilege of working at Galvanize as a Software Engineering Immersive Resident, where I helped guide students on their journey to mastering the latest web development technologies.
Here are some technologies that I've been working with:
  • Javascript ES6+
  • React.js
  • Node.js
  • HTML & CSS
  • Next.js
  • MongoDB
  • PostgreSQL
  • TypeScript

Beyond coding, I have a deep fascination for video games, sports, music, food, and the exciting technologies behind them.
