Hi, I'm Nat.
I help organizations empower their domain experts by building and optimizing data infrastructure and tools.
I’ve spent nine years working with researchers, analysts, investment brokers, energy traders, and educators. I’ve cut networking and storage costs by 95% on multiple projects.
I can handle:
- Slow, flaky, or expensive data pipelines
- Delicate migrations
- Building expert-facing tools
- Integrating legacy systems
- Training and mentoring
- Full stack web development
I focus on data engineering, performance optimization, cost control, and full-stack development (Python, SQL, Rust, TypeScript, C#, and others) with particular experience in LLM integration, data quality frameworks, and building tools that make complex work simpler.
Projects I’ve worked on include:
- A bio-informatics database for HIV/AIDS research
- A data quality platform for energy trading
- A GraphQL API for e-commerce
- ETL pipelines for financial services, education, and IoT sensor data
If you have a data infrastructure challenge you'd like to discuss or you need an experienced fractional senior developer, I'd be happy to spend a few hours looking at your case to see if we might be a good fit.
