Household names and trusted partners — built directly, no handoff.

A track record built on real engagements and measurable outcomes. The studio is new. The work that earned its reputation is not. Each case below was delivered personally — no delegation, no junior buffer, no anonymous team. These speak for themselves.

Case studies

Full engagement write-ups — the situation, what Nate built, and the outcome that got measured.

Real-time motorsport platform

Global motorsport brand · via consultancy · Technical Lead
The situation

A global motorsport brand's platform has zero tolerance for slowness during a race weekend — a slow page isn't a minor bug, it's a brand incident watched by millions.

What Nate built

Served as Technical Lead across enterprise client delivery, including real-time, high-traffic platform work. Set the engineering standards, quality gates, and automated testing regime the team worked to.

Outcome — measurably cut post-deployment defects through the standards and testing regime put in place, and the platform held up under race-weekend traffic.

Safety-critical children's transport platform

Transport-tech startup · 3.5 years · sole Engineering Manager
The situation

A service moving children needed live GPS tracking and safeguarding compliance built and run correctly — with one engineer owning the entire technical function from a blank page.

What Nate built

Built and owned the whole stack alone: dual mobile apps, an operations portal, and a serverless backend, with live GPS tracking and safeguarding compliance baked in from day one.

Outcome — 99.5%+ uptime on a safety-critical platform, ~60% faster releases, and ~30% lower cloud cost — all three sustained over 3.5 years as the only engineer.

Secure vendor-data integration platform

Enterprise distribution group · via consultancy · Technical Lead
The situation

A UK-wide enterprise distribution group needed vendor data ingested and reconciled against an internal data warehouse and surfaced to internal teams — without opening a hole in a locked-down network.

What Nate built

Designed and led delivery of a cloud-native, event-driven integration platform: vendor data is ingested, matched against the internal warehouse, and surfaced through a secure internal portal, on a zero-trust architecture. Led the squad through design and delivery in production.

European hosting infrastructure at scale

Hosting provider · 17-engineer department · Head of Server
The situation

A Europe-wide hosting estate of tens of thousands of production Linux and Windows servers needed faster provisioning and fewer repeat incidents — and someone to own catastrophic-incident escalation.

What Nate built

Led the 17-engineer department responsible for the server estate across Europe, acting as senior escalation for catastrophic incidents, and drove process change through automation and blameless post-mortems.

Outcome — ~40% faster provisioning and ~25% fewer repeat incidents, driven by automation and a blameless post-mortem culture.
