Code. Create. Innovate.
Hi, I'm Nathan
AI Full-Stack Developer
Building intelligent products that automate, scale, and perform — across the full stack.
About me
I'm Nathan — an AI-focused full-stack developer in Los Angeles 📍. After years of shipping web apps for small businesses, I'm now all-in on what generative AI unlocks: smarter products, faster builds, and tools that feel like magic ✨. When I'm not consulting through Appturnity, I'm building in public at n8builds.dev — sometimes live on Twitch 🎥.

Building for the AI-native web
Generative AI is changing what software can be — and how it gets built. These two projects are where I explore that shift hands-on: streaming AI interfaces, semantic search over vector embeddings, and the full-stack plumbing that makes intelligent products feel effortless.
GeminiGPT
AI Chat PlatformA full-stack AI chat platform powered by Google's Gemini 2.5 Flash. Supports multi-chat sessions, cross-chat semantic search over LanceDB vector embeddings, PDF and DOCX document understanding, and real-time response streaming over WebSockets — with a bring-your-own-key model that keeps usage private.
