what's up
I'm Nathan. I build software, and I like learning how things work.
I'm a Full Stack Developer at ZS, and I graduated from Manipal Institute of Technology in 2025.
My work spans AI, robotics and web apps. I enjoy working on complicated problems.
Outside work, my interests include evaluating pizzas and being an energy drink connoisseur.
