Hi! I’m Nathan, a student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln’s Raikes School

• Migrated hardware fulfillment from Mulesoft to a distributed microservice architecture on AWS ECS and Lambda, mapping legacy data integrations to REST APIs and automating shipping logistics, saving hardware teams 30+ hours a week.
• Rebuilt shipment carrier communications in C# and .NET, adding persistent RabbitMQ retry logic and return processing to bring the hardware order error rate from 25% to under 1%.
• Developed a real-time Slack alerting pipeline for Salesforce order failures and a TypeScript admin dashboard for debugging blocked hardware orders, cutting average time to resolution 3x.
• Facilitated weekly cross-team triage with logistics and operations stakeholders to build out the engineering roadmap and plan for a code freeze ahead of peak-season volume.

• Mentored 60+ students through the full product lifecycle, focusing on feedback about technical constraints and business viability, leaving teams with clear go-to-market plans in a rapidly growing Nebraska startup scene.

• Formulated proofs to classify two-component ribbon links with ribbon number 5, generalizing the theorem across over 1,000 unique links and publishing the dataset for other researchers.
• Built a Python pipeline mapping link topology into NumPy vectors to compute invariants programmatically, eliminating 200+ hours of manual work and contributing upstream to SnapPy, a standard open-source topology toolkit.
• Translated abstract knot structures into visual models, presenting to 100+ students and faculty.

• Contributed to the open-source, Rust-based IDE, resolving Markdown rendering issues in GPUI.
• Pioneered developer advocacy at UNL as an inaugural ambassador, leading coding nights for 50+ students.

Coming soon.

• Architected a middleware CLI tool in Go for 200+ users that blocks malicious PyPI packages and monitors Docker container syscalls for suspicious activity, using goroutines to run analysis concurrently.
• Engineered a custom Levenshtein algorithm that catches typosquatting 18x faster than standard implementations, adding near-zero latency to install times.

Block Party, first on the blockchain track.

• Shipped a ticket-resale prevention SDK on the XRP Ledger, writing C Hooks compiled to WebAssembly that issue non-transferable Multi-Purpose Tokens and reject unauthorized transfers on-ledger.
• Integrated settlement in RLUSD with Escrows and Batching, exposed through a TypeScript frontend.

Bounty Bot, first on the agentic AI track.

• Designed a LeetCode for agentic AI: developers compete by submitting Dockerized Python agents to solve software engineering bounties, with a TypeScript frontend and demo agents on the Gemini API.
• Built a Go CLI that pulled submitted images through a Redis job queue and executed them headlessly in Docker, scoring agents against CI/CD test suites.

Banana Blockchain, third on the general track.

• Built a farm-to-customer ledger where every event is made into a SHA-256 block, making QR codes at each event using GPS location and the current time.
• Implemented haversine geo-auditing that checks the distance between different scans to flag fraudulent transfers, giving a customer view of a globe with each transaction highlighted.
