I'm Nathan, a software engineer in Edmonton, Canada. I've always had an eye towards building things that simplify lives, and software is no exception.

When not programming however, I enjoy a multitude of other hobbies. One of them is photography and videography. I love capturing the sights and moments of our beautiful world, particularly through urban and landscape photography. I have been lucky enough to travel to many places to document these locations, from right here at home to halfway across the world.

Another hobby that developed through my love of computers and computer hardware came the homelab. Deep in my basement is a collection of old enterprise servers, given a second life to host my little piece of the internet. From here, I practice self hosting, server administration and networking. This has allowed me to combine my knowledge as a software developer and systems administrator. Deploying and hosting software, building workflow automation programs, and setting up network services like VPNs, VLANs, and firewalls.

I started taking an interest in cars too, particular in Japanese Domestic Market cars. I currently daily drive a 2001 Toyota Altezza, a sport sedan I imported directly from Japan. This car had me learn how to maintain, diagnose, and fix all sorts of systems within a vehicle. It is extremely enjoyable to drive, with just enough power and handling to be fun yet safe.

Another is cycling. What better means is there to maintain fitness while exploring and seeing the world? My road bike gives me the opportunity to discover undisturbed paths, uncover nature's beauty, and challenge difficult terrains.

My projects are viewable on my Github page and my resume is viewable here. I'd love to get in touch!
