About Nathan

I have 18 years of technology professional experience, programming since '93 and over 5 years leading teams. I’ve been developing Unity3D/VR since 2015 and have made games for Mobile, Google Cardboard, Samsung Gear VR and Oculus Rift. I have also built many web applications, server side systems, and cloud distributed systems too!

Some of my projects included a Mobile Generative Maze Game on Google Play, VR Meditation game, a VR Molecule using the Ball-and-stick model for an educational game, a VR sound puzzle, a retro maze arcade mobile game, a 3D arena.

Over the years I've had the privilege of writing web, desktop and mobile software used video games; virtual reality; marketplaces; cryptocurrency trading; generative systems; web mapping; bioinformatics; securities trading; and business process automation.

In addition to my leadership and technical expertise with technology companies I also have independent, boutique, and Big 4 consulting experience and loved solving hard business, team and technology problems for my clients.

Nowadays I focus on game development and digital entertainment. If you would like to catch up, drop me a note!
