Nathaniel Williams Email & Phone Number

Nathaniel Williams is a Software Engineer. Colleagues describe him as "Than is an unusually conscientious and consistent software engineer. I worked with him for four years at BlueStripe, during which he mostly wrote server code in Java, C#, and sometimes Perl. Than cares deeply about software quality, maintainability, and development process. At BlueStripe, in addition to his work on feature development, he informally took on a role of refactoring other people's hurried prototype code. Little delights him more than removing code, either dead code or copy-and-paste spaghetti. Whatever he touched got simpler, faster, more consistent, and more maintainable. He takes a similar approach to refining the development process. When the team forgets to hold retrospectives, Than reminds them. When other engineers complain to each other, Than brings issues to whoever could help solve them. The whole team is better when Than is on it. And Than is consistent. Once he has worked out a project's requirements with product owners, he sits down and builds it -- without drama, without need for supervision. Programming is his job, and doing it well is his deeply felt obligation. He doesn't get distracted or discouraged. Unsurprisingly, this makes him much better than most people at estimating how long his projects will take. Than is smart, humble, hard-working, and just a pleasant person in general. I'd work with him again in a heartbeat." and "Than is a great software developer. He is both detail-oriented and efficient. Than is not afraid to question the status-quo to come up with better ways of doing things. He is both opinionated and well-informed; a great member to have on any team."
