Nathan Cole Summers

Enterprise Applications Developer with a passion for microservice architecture and continuous learning

Professional Journey

I'm currently an Enterprise Applications Developer at the University of Idaho in Moscow, Idaho, where I leverage my 9 years of IT experience and 5 years of focused application development to create innovative solutions.

As a polyglot programmer, I work confidently across multiple programming languages including TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, and Rust. This versatility allows me to select the perfect tool for each specific challenge.

My passion lies in microservice architecture—finding the perfect programming language for each specific component of a larger system. This approach reflects my broader philosophy of continuous learning and insatiable curiosity.

I'm particularly energized by projects involving cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence, where I can push the boundaries of what's possible in enterprise applications.

I strongly believe in blameless postmortems as a way to build stronger teams and better systems. This approach fosters a culture of learning and improvement rather than finger-pointing.

Beyond the Code

Reading

Lost in the pages of fantasy or sci-fi novels, though my reading interests span from self-development to history, politics, and science.

Music

Drawn to electronic and alternative music. Apple Music's lyrics feature has been a game-changer for my listening experience.

Gaming

Occasionally dive into video games as a way to unwind and explore interactive storytelling and creative problem-solving.

Food & Music

Can always be tempted away from work with the promise of good food and live music—the perfect combination for recharging.
