Get to know me

About me

I'm Nathan, a full-stack developer in Los Angeles, and I'm all in on AI. Building things people actually find useful has always mattered most to me, and getting to do so much more of it with AI feels like a blessing.

Building Tech for Pros

These days I consult on AI and build Tech for Pros, a platform for service businesses: pool, HVAC, landscaping and the like. It turns a few details about a business into a launch-ready website, then takes the follow-up off their plate: lead capture, reviews, reminders and missed-call text-back.

Before that I spent three years building client apps at a consulting firm.

Los Angeles

Teaching, in LA, and open to moving

I live in Los Angeles, and I'm ready to relocate for the right role.

Part of my week I teach JavaScript, Python and app development at The Coder School in Santa Monica: how to debug, and how to use AI coding tools responsibly.

The setup

Where I build in public

In my free time I build in public on n8builds.dev. That's where the tools I use daily live: Scribe, my local dictation app for Windows, and OpenPing, my uptime monitor, plus Solara and a few Chrome extensions, all free and open source.

Next up: streaming the builds live.
