Hi my name is Nathaniel. I'm a CS student at RPI. I specialize in Backend Development and AI/ML. I'm passionate about building projects and gaining experience in the tech industry.
About Me
I'm a CS student at RPI with a focus on backend development and AI/ML. I enjoy building scalable APIs, messing around with ML models, and connecting classroom theory to real world examples.
Outside of tech, I enjoy lifting and playing sports like basketball and soccer. That passion led me to develop a workout tracking app. This project that blends my love for fitness and coding by allowing me monitor and progress in my training.
What keeps me hooked on coding is the problem solving aspect. It's not always easy and debugging can be frustrating and sleep depriving. But the satisfaction of cracking a tough problem makes it all worth it. That moment of clarity is what keeps me coming back.
