Nat Fletcher

Software Engineer

Full-stack developer with degrees in
Software Engineering and Visual Communications.
I obsess over clean architecture and
finding the elegant solution.

I studied Software Engineering and Visual Communications at Loyola University Chicago, graduating Magna Cum Laude in 2023 with a 3.8 GPA. Upon graduation, I was granted the Turing High Achievement Award, an honor bestowed by the faculty to one student from each computer science specialization. I've since spent two years as a systems verification engineer at Shure, building python automation to validate networked audio and radio devices. Before that, I spent a year at Encyclopaedia Britannica developing QA automation for web apps, and six months interning at ReviewRamp doing back-end web development. On the side, I build personal projects in areas that interest me: a cross-platform Electron app for managing color palettes, C# toolkits for the Godot game engine, and a system-monitoring utility for Wayland.
