Now a resident of Portland OR, for ten years I was a Chicago actor and improvisor. Computers and technology have always fascinated me. I’ve figured out a way to do what I am passionate about while earning a living.
I am a lifelong learner and have a history of teaching myself skills, from JavaScript frameworks to pneumatic blood squibs. Need a backpacking stove made from a Pepsi can? I got you covered.

On the weekends you can find me with my wife hiking, at home working on my bicycle or losing to my friends at Settlers of Catan.
“I fully enjoyed working with Nathan during his internship at Basecamp. He was always motivated, self-directed, and good at communicating his processes and progress. He was also patient and flexible while we debated which problems we wanted to investigate, and he was willing to step out of his comfort zone to explore new methods and tech that he hadn't worked with before. Nathan accomplished a lot in a short time at Basecamp, and I think he'd be an excellent addition to any UX team that's looking to gain a deeper understanding of their users and their product.”

“Nathan's professionalism, ingenuity, and work ethic make him a dream collaborator. Our creation of an online game was a brand new experience for me and my company. Nathan was able to not only deliver a product that was user friendly and great fun, but provided clear options, consistent and friendly communication, and researched everything for informed decision making. We would work with Nathan again in a heart beat and count ourselves lucky to have had his expertise on board.”

“Nathan worked for me at Rush University Medical Center in the McCormick Educational Technology Center. We made numerous improvements to systems and processes over the 18 months I was there. Many of these improvements would not have gone so smoothly if it had not been for Nathan. He is very proactive in identifying potential problems and improvements. He does his own research and discovers potential solutions and then makes his suggestions. I always appreciated his willingness to be a strong member of our team.”
