AI Full-Stack Developer
Building intelligent products that automate, scale, and perform - across the full stack.
Get to know me
I'm Nathan - a full-stack developer in Los Angeles, a little obsessed with what generative AI makes possible. My favorite part of building is the moment a rough idea turns into something you can actually use.
When I'm not doing client work through Appturnity, I'm the kind of person who builds tools to scratch my own itches - a faster way to dictate, a way to skip to the point of a long video, whatever's bugging me that week. You can see a lot of them on n8builds.dev, where I ship in public.
I like small, sharp projects, learning in public, and taking things apart to see how they work.

Too Long; Didn’t Watch - press Alt+G on any YouTube video and it opens Gemini with your saved prompt and the video URL already filled in.
Generative AI is changing what software can be - and how it gets built. These are the projects where I explore that shift hands-on.
A browser-based realtime voice AI - speak and it speaks back, streamed and interruptible. Echo closes the whole spoken loop (mic → transcribe → think → speak) with function-calling tools in the middle and a turn-taking state machine that lets you talk over it. The model was the easy part; the ~800 milliseconds of perceived latency were the hard part.
An AI agent that plans, searches the live web, reads sources, and writes a cited report - streaming each step as it happens. Scout is a from-scratch ReAct loop on Gemini with function calling and SSE: no agent framework, no black box. It doesn't hand you an answer, it shows you the reasoning loop that produced it. The process is the product.
A full-stack AI chat platform powered by Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash. Supports multi-chat sessions, cross-chat semantic search over LanceDB vector embeddings, PDF and DOCX document understanding, and real-time response streaming over WebSockets - with a bring-your-own-key model that keeps usage private.
A Netflix-style streaming app with an AI brain. Describe what you're in the mood for in plain language and Gemini turns it into tailored picks, while a personalized "Recommended For You" engine learns from your watch history and feedback. Plus TMDB-powered browsing and trailers, secure auth, full Stripe and PayPal subscription checkout, and Firebase-backed persistence.
These are a few of them. I'm shipping new AI-native builds in public - see the rest of what I'm making at n8builds.dev.

Additional Experience
Consulting
My consulting company - custom apps and AI automation for small businesses, from healthcare to property management to HVAC. The current obsession is SiteForge: an engine that audits local businesses and auto-builds each one a polished, ready-to-launch website, then turns that into an ongoing care plan.
See how I build
Where I build in public, and a build in its own right: every pull request runs its test suite on five browsers before it merges, a build log updates from GitHub every hour, and releases go out on a weekly schedule. Both sites are open source, if you want to use either one as a template.
