Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNate Cornell is an engineering leader with 15+ years of hands-on technical depth—from Linux and network ops to full-stack, mobile, IoT, and org leadership—currently running a 39-person mobile, backend, and QA organization for Honda’s Drivemode with a ~$6.5M staff budget. He has a track record of scaling teams and platforms from zero to production (e.g., growing Drivemode from 5 to 39 engineers and expanding Sonder’s engineering org past 100), shipping high-throughput, low-latency systems and IoT fleets that materially impacted revenue. Nate sets pragmatic architecture direction (notably a unified auth layer adopted across Honda markets) and keeps teams stable through major program changes with zero attrition. AI-native in practice, he pilots developer tooling and coaches cross-functional stakeholders on AI-assisted workflows, improving day-to-day engineering leverage. He pairs strategic resource and performance management with credibility down to the metal—still writing and optimizing code and deployment pipelines when it matters.
