My Name is Nathan Follin, I graduated Cum Laude with a full academic scholarship from the University of Richmond double majoring in Computer Science and Interdisciplinary Physics. I worked three years as an undergraduate researcher where I published an Algorithm written in C++ on Atomic Force Microscopy to Review of Scientific Instruments. I worked for several years at Booz Allen Hamilton, where I am a full life cycle software developer on an Enterprise Cross Domain Solution where I updated the code logic for a Large File Transfer service, Managed and Lead Patch Testing, and automated the test environment to enable load test scenarios and cut down on manpower and time required to approve patches. I also managed firm interns on their projects, and on-boarded new hires to the company. Currently, I work at Amazon Web Services as an SDE providing op support and developing internal tools.
