Hi, I’m Nathan Miller. I’m an experienced staff/lead software engineer focused on embedded and backend development. I design, build, and maintain large-scale systems, including REST APIs, microservices, cloud-native architectures, DevOps/CI-CD, and OpenID Connect/OAuth. I collaborate across requirements, QA, estimation, implementation, and architecture, while also taking on leadership, product ownership, and management responsibilities. Throughout my career at Meta, Siemens EDA, Tektronix, and other teams, I’ve led teams, migrated desktop software to cloud platforms, and driven performance improvements on resource-constrained devices. I’m passionate about delivering reliable systems, improving developer productivity, and mentoring engineers to reach their full potential.
