TL;DR: Reliable, thoughtful, and quietly effective even in the most stressful situations. Nathaniel is the man you want beside you when things get hard and the stakes are high.
Had the privilege of working alongside Nathaniel on Orbit, a social app we co-developed with the mission of helping people find meaningful, in-person connections.
When we first started building Orbit, we were completely unfamiliar with Swift, but as we continued iterating on the UI and design, Nathaniel’s speed and front-end skills continued to improve week by week
Very thoughtful and adaptable to different situations. Not afraid to step up when he’s needed, but also humble enough to listen, learn, and support others when that’s what the moment calls for. Nathaniel has a quiet kind of leadership. Not loud or flashy, but consistent and deeply dependable. You always know he’ll follow through. He brings a calming energy to even the most high-pressure moments (April 2nd demo day😮💨)
It also felt incredibly easy to communicate with Nathaniel. There was never any fear or sense of judgment when giving him feedback. It went both ways. When he gave feedback to me, it was delivered with clarity and care.
