Hi, I'm Nathan

Software engineer and HCI researcher. As an engineer I've built and shipped production-grade AI systems spanning model creation, batching, GPU scheduling, and system design, while being involved in the software development process including deployment across web and mobile. I write mostly in TypeScript and Python.

As a researcher I've worked on learnersourcing and AI-augmented learning. I'm interested in ed-tech, particularly how AI can be meaningfully integrated into how people learn. Lately I've been thinking about what it means for a tool to genuinely help someone think and exploring what good scaffolding looks like in that context.

When I'm not at a screen I'm probably reading or finding an excuse to be outside.
