About Me

Hi. I'm Nathan, a senior at the University of Colorado Boulder graduating in May, 2025. I am majoring in computer science while pursuing minors in Quantum Engineering and Engineering Entrepreneurship.


I first fell in love with technology when I took part in a LEGO robotics club in middle school...I have been hooked ever since. Some of my areas of interest are quantitative finance and AI/machine learning.
